The Morgan Dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904 and again for one more year in 1921. The Morgan Dollar was the product of America's largest silver strike, which occurred at the Comstock Lode in northern Nevada in the mid-1870s. Though it never gained broad appeal during its production run, its connection to an important period in American history has rendered it a highly sought after piece among collectors. Early Morgans are rarer because they were melted down to mint the 1921 Morgan Dollar issue. The Morgan Dollar is named after its designer, George T. Morgan, who designed the obverse and reverse of the coin. The dollar has a fineness of .900. The Morgan Dollar is one of the most popular and widely collected US coins.
