The Morgan silver dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904, with a one-year return to production in 1921. Since its creation in 1878 by legendary engraver George T. Morgan, the Morgan silver dollar has enjoyed a sustained reputation as one of the most easily recognizable bullion coins in the world. This is due, in part, to the coin's beautifully detailed design and rich history.

The Carson City Mint produced a wide variety of circulating coinage but it is arguably most famous for the production of the Morgan Dollar. As with all U.S. Mint facilities, Morgan Dollar production began in 1878. However, the Carson City Mint stopped production in 1893 due to reduced Silver being mined. Today, Carson City Morgans, especially those in their black GSA cases, are highly coveted for their limited remaining numbers.
