The Comstock Lode in Nevada was the greatest silver discovery in American history. The lode was discovered in 1859, and by the time it ran out of silver around the turn of the 20th century it had produced about half a billion dollars in silver. The classic Morgan Silver Dollar was introduced in 1878 in an effort by the U.S. Government to use up large amounts of silver from the Comstock Lode. The Morgan Silver Dollar was made from 1978 to 1904 and again in 1921. It was made with silver from the Comstock Lode. A genuine Morgan Silver Dollar with silver from the Comstock Lode is the highlight of this collection. Also included is the 2006 Nevada State Quarter. The Nevada State Quarter honors Nevada as “The Silver State” and also shows wild horses to symbolize Nevada’s open spaces and “wild west” heritage. A 1959 U.S. stamp honoring the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Comstock Lode completes the collection. The stamp has been out of issue for nearly half a century and is in original mint condition. The complete set is protected in a custom panel and is presented in a special coin wallet with a Certificate of Authenticity.
