History of the Morgan Silver Dollar.

[@MrJdubbya36]

I always like the story of Carson City. Finally got to visit there a month or so ago. Very cool even though it hasn't been a mint in many years. They still have the #1 coin press from when they opened the mint. Probably not many original parts left on it but still cool to see.

[@linneisenhower2571]

Nice job on this presentation. Beautiful Morgans.

[@thekiwiclipper1113]

[@thatrallycarguy]

[@B.H..]

Great information. Look forward to more to further education.

[@brandondockter4272]

Great video and for anyone reading this….. I was just there the other day and he has a huge collection of Morgan’s to chose from. Probably the most dates and variety I have ever seen in the shop

[@robertleftbear749]

[@ynot552]

Super video of the Morgan silver dollar. Thanks

[@williamking2249]

Very interesting review and history of the Morgan👍

[@Thecoinmanproof]

I love your treasures.

[@humz3274]

Great education video Josh- thanks.

[@HolyYuckles]

Awesome video! You should do a video on the peace dollars next!

[@JesseJames83]

The Morgan is my favorite coin, and I have been carrying one in my pocket for ~10 years. I started doing it when I saw an old man pull out his change, and he had a silver dollar in his pocket. I call it my lucky coin. I bought it in a decent grade, but it has worn down pretty well by now. Thanks for the video.

[@tjf1531]

Great video and informative.

[@michaeldowden9196]

I will watching more thank you sir for the education 😊

[@bmiller22765]

That was a very informative video. I wish I had your knowledge

[@BuyHappenstance]

Looking forward to more like this

[@benreierson2607]

I really enjoyed that and look forward to seeing more educational videos. I'll probably buy my first Morgan next time I'm in there!

[@cosmiccreations888]

Josh Your Videos are Great now Days and we Do Not Have to listen to the Same OLD Sponsorship BS which get So Dam Redundant !! THANK YOU DO Much Josh !!!. Please do a video for people Having to sell their collections due to Medical and or other reasons Please !! This would be Greatly Received I Think

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

Interesting for me, never been into numismatic really.

[@Janet_Airlines802]

My favorite coin, I think it's the most beautiful coin they ever made.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

I think the american eagle looks better but i think the morgan is actually the more historically relavent and more investment worthy for average americans. If we get more people into investing in them because of our popualtion they have a lot of potentual for even average ones to become very valueble, as for multiple reasons, ome being there wont be any more made. 1890 is gone 😂 theyre relics of the wild west man. When wells fargo was riding around with shotguns on stagecoaches

[@reillyhi4097]

Aloha for your informational video. You nailed in so many ways! I appreciate you and want more of you numismatic knowledge! Mahalo from Honolulu, HIReilly808

[@echoleaf9590]

loved it

[@glenlien8346]

Very impressed with your knowledge and presentation….am learning still…..at 91’. Norsky Glen

[@BigSky-]

Good 8nfo ✌🍻

[@thevikingstacker5794]

Great video!

[@geeussery8849]

nice

[@MetalScholar]

Great video! Thanks for the lesson, Teach!

[@minotcoinbullion]

Glad you liked it!

[@Stackitupmetal]

Buffalo Nickel and Morgan’s are my top two favorite coins

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Morgans i think are great for us to invest in as americans based off of how many there is vs our population. I would reccomend a morgan before stock in walmart imo

[@TobaccoRowe1960]

This is a wonderful relaxing video. I watched it up to 18 minutes, the rest is stuff I don't buy. Yes Sir 18 minutes 5 Star Video.

[@piecesofeight]

Very good video, mate. I'm an 18 month newbie, and I'm far from America, but I bought the 2021 Morgan&Peace Dollar set in MS70 before I had any of the old ones. My next was the 1878 8TF in MS64 and, on comparison, there is quite some difference. I do like the 999 Morgans, but thought 90% might have been better now that I have several raw and slabbed ones to compare. I prefer Morgans to ASEs and will continue to accumulate the whole set, plus the modern issues for my legacy stackcollection. Not being American means no patriotic emotional aspect informs my choice; for me it is the artistic interpretation; the skill of the engravers, the history of the coin; and that it is silver.

[@rickv.464]

Really great video 👍

[@theHDP]

Anyone that loves Morgan's should have the Carson City mint and Nevada state Museum on their bucket list. Worth the trip.

[@777Poker]

Thank you for this video I’m a lot like you I do stack bullion but I do appreciate nice fine silver from my United States mint especially my American silver eagles even though they come with a heavy premium.

[@Vector_Ze]

The very first Morgan I ever bought was an 1878 8-Tail Feather. That was almost 50 years ago, and I still have it. I like the blast white on silver coins, and red on copper, although there are some toned coins I can appreciate. Maybe my appreciation would be greater for toned coins if I weren't color-deficient. Some of my nicely toned copper coins (even to my color-deficient eyes) have a rich reddish-golden hue that I love. RE the modern reissues: I don't mind the composition change. I sure wish the production limit was lower though. These are (obviously) collector coins, and producing a quarter million or so of them dilutes their appeal. I enjoyed the video. Thumbs up!

[@SatelliteEngineer]

Would like to learn more about all of the $1 series from flowing hair all the way to modern.

[@craigferriter9737]

Idea for future videos - going back from Morgans, what was the previous dollar coins? Would be interesting to see, going backwards.

[@charlesadkins7067]

awesome video and coins im going to buy some morgans from the Fitzgerald Collection maybe in a couple days

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks for the history. And yep the 2021s/2023s are basically a medal? A token? I don't know why you would get them if they continue year after year.

[@dissy5563]

A video on the various " hoards" would be appreciated. Redfield, Binion etc are interesting to me.

[@laurashibuya]

I was a collector long before I became a stacker!

[@THOMASDRELICH]

i like the culls im cheap as long as they arent too chewed up.

[@RogerNoonan-z3q]

Great video. GSA= General Services Administration (federal property managers among other things)

[@LongLivedCoins]

👍

[@dleetr]

"same specs as the original", yeah good point. The whole point of the re-release could have been to give collectors of the Morgan and Peace dollars, perfect versions of coins they know and love as something different in the collection.

[@Robb-jf7vg]

In my research on the early (1878) Morgans, there was a complaint that the coin DID NOT contain a full "dollars worth" of Silver. Newspaper Editorials said there was from 12 to 16 cents LESS silver in each coin. I'm sure the government did this to keep folks from melting them down and selling the silver over seas. This did occur in the very earliest days of our U.S. minted coins.

[@TheSilverSphincter69]

is there any form of information of the 270 million mint marks or dates that was destroyed at all?

[@galoon]

I don't think the government recorded what exactly they melted; they probably did destroy some rare ones.

[@Kcconnor]

We didn’t use the P mint. 1980 and then even the penny did not get the P mint mark until 2009.

[@bigmike1552]

Great video how much is the Denver Morgan?

[@ez054098]

How about a video of years with two different coins with the same denomination? 1921, 1883, 1916, etc

[@jerrymoede9073]

so if i have a ICG . should i break it out and have it regraded???

[@weststephan5253]

I have just over 1200 Morgan’s and Peace dollars. So many VAMs and so tiny, who’s got the time to look?

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Dang are you going to cash out?

[@dleetr]

I find it hard to believe that Morgan studied natural life in order to conceive his Eagle. hahah!

[@carolynfahy499]

I have a 1878 Morgan silver dollar. S What is it worth? 7 feathers Thanks!

[@minotcoinbullion]

The value depends on the condition. I works have to see it in order to accurately give you a value.

[@vedyou799]

i have Morgan Silver Dollar 1888 O What is its value?

[@MarilynTyler-n2s]

I have a1804 silver dollar what is it worth

[@minotcoinbullion]

If it’s authentic, it’s worth ALOT! Chances are quite high that you have a counterfeit. Only 15 real ones are known to exist……

[@danielgffdx]

How much Morgan dollar 1898

[@MegaSilverStacker]

Ok so you had 934g before adding the 20g puts ya at 954g. Dang Im not sure if i have 46, but I will check for ya👊

[@DiCelloPiano]

I saw on another video that around the turn of the century , that pockets in clothes like pants and shirts was rare for poorer people... bags or purses too. to carry money it's said that they would put a hole in coins and put them around a chain and wear it around the neck or wrist. I don't know if that's true or not but, many people see this on those turn of the century coins. best wishes :)

[@galoon]

I'm not sure if I buy that one! By the turn of the 20th century, pretty much all trousers had pockets--even the trousers on Civil War uniforms did, and many of those were cheaply made. In the 1800s, it wasn't uncommon for people to hole coins and wear them as medallions. I think that's why we see some 19th century coins with holes today. That was usually done with a penny though; a dollar was a lot of money at that time!

[@DiCelloPiano]

@@galoon I forgot where I heard that story, but yeah , I found a few coins with holes and weird attempts at engraving gone wrong - the star is a silver dime from 1856 with a hole drilled in it , I just have it on a keychain right now , it's one of the large date - seated liberty so kinda wish they didn't do it , but i suppose if they didn't drill it , the path would be different and it wouldn't have ended up with me somehow ... best wishes

[@galoon]

@@DiCelloPiano That's pretty cool! What shape is your 1856 Seated Liberty dime in? Is it worn flat or can you see a good bit of detail? The drilled coins I've usually seen are large cents from the 1840s and '50s. Most of those were pretty much worn flat. Take care!

[@DiCelloPiano]

@@galoon it's not in mint-condition or anything ; but I looked up how those sell , and it's one of the more "sought after" silver dimes , but with a hole in it , it's kinda dusted :) but oh well , still kinda cool to have in my collection

[@DiCelloPiano]

@@galoon the back and front is slightly worn , but on the "seated lib." area someone tried to write " in god we trust" in terrible "engraving" if one could call it that , but I got it for free by finding it on a keychain without keys with 3 or 4 drilled coins , one was italian and something else , I forgot what they all were , nothing too valuable but the dime

[@SukantBarik-ty3ok]

I have sir old coins and notes Indian currency

[@jakobausterlitz8102]

Gotta be slabbed to be worthwhile.

[@dleetr]

Unless it's cull, I see colourisation of Morgans as as much of a no-no as poking holes in the little pieces of history. Just imagine if we're a star faring people one day and our population has massively increased ( an inversion of today where we have a way below replacement birthrate ).

[@dleetr]

Split into two because it wouldn't let me edit a longer post. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone of those billions could have a Morgan if they so desired, this won't happen if examples keep getting vandalised. I know it's an extreme example, but let the imagination flow when thinking about your passions, lol. Great video anyway, very rationally presented.

[@galoon]

Yeah, seeing that defaced mint-state 1921 Morgan made me cringe! That's a prime example of greed; vandalising historic coins just to make a quick buck.

[@dleetr]

@@galoonOf course at any time until the recent era, it could have faced the melt bin. It's sad really isn't it. The short term thinking is what rules.

[@galoon]

@@dleetr Definitely very sad! I often wonder exactly what disappeared forever under the 1918 Pittman Act! Just picked up an interesting Morgan a few days ago; an 1888 P VAM 11A in about MS63, with doubled ear and clashed "In".

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Yeah but a hole is different. Coloring its still useful in terms kf what if it has good unworn edges you might want it as an edge refrence to see another one worn more to compare against it. Its not worthless its still probably worth more than its value in silver just on historical context alone

[@carwebcolivecom]

besdies Morgans I collect Capped Bust Halves

[@galoon]

Capped Busts are pretty coins! I only have one Capped Bust half--an 1819.

[@carwebcolivecom]

after stacking silver coin since 2015 I reached a heavy weight epiphamy & switched to numismatic (semi) & fractional gold coins all PM Coins! @@galoon

[@tlgallego7445]

Awesome information! 😊
