As the 1880s came to a close, the Morgan Dollar Silver Coin experienced one of its highest single-year mintages, rivaling even its one-time issue in 1921. Leading the charge in striking these coins, the Philadelphia Mint minted the highest number of coins throughout the 1880-1889 decade. Now, you have the opportunity to purchase certified 1889 Morgan Dollar Silver Coins online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
In addition to Morgan Dollars from the Philadelphia Mint in 1889, the branch mints at San Francisco, New Orleans, and Carson City also contributed to production. Notably, the Carson City Mint, returning after a three-year hiatus from 1886 to 1888, issued a modest 350,000 coins.
