Product Information
This collection features all three silver dollars issued by the United States during the 100-year period from 1878 to 1978, including the Morgan, Peace, and Eisenhower silver dollars. The Morgan dollar was issued from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. During that same year, it was replaced by the Peace dollar, which was produced until 1935. The Peace dollar was the last true silver dollar ever minted for ordinary circulation, and no dollar coins were minted again until the Eisenhower dollar debuted in 1971. The Eisenhower was produced using a copper-nickel alloy for circulation, but a select few were struck in 40% silver exclusively for collectors, which is the specimen included in this set. Today, these coins are seldom seen but are cherished by coin collectors and enthusiasts of American history alike. Offered here are three pleasant, mint-state silver dollars hand-selected by professional numismatists after screening thousands of coins for quality and eye-appeal. Each coin is housed in an airtight capsule and the set is presented in a luxurious, plush-lined wood box with embossed metallic gold lettering, piano-black finish, and certificate of authenticity. The coins are unconditionally guaranteed to be genuine, dated between 1878 and 1974, and will match the exceptional mint-state quality of the ones shown. If you are interested in building a collection, consider adding other great selections from the American Classics Coinage Series to compliment your purchase.
