Morgan Coins

Morgan coins, morgan silver dollars, and Carson City coins (cc coins), despite all odds, have become a very popular and very solid investment you may want to consider - appreciating an average of 7 to 15% annual appreciation rate or more!

Morgan Coins - a Quick History

The first morgan coin was minted in Carson City in 1878 following the passage of the Bland-Alison Act that required the US Treasury buy 2 to 4 million ounces of silver per month due to the explosion of silver coming out of the great Comstock Lode. Of course the Treasure had to so something with all this silver so it went on to strike over a half billion morgan coins, cc coins, liberty heads and morgan silver dollars between 1878 and 1904.

Making Money with Morgan Coins & CC Coins

When the morgan silver dollar first came out it was nick-named the "Buzzard Dollar" and it wasn't very popular with coin collectors or investors. Consequently, millions of cc coins were melted down over the years and thanks to the law of "supply and demand", today, virtually every top quality morgan dollar represents a very solid investment opportunity.

For example, one well-known analyst predicts the morgan silver dollars poised to increase the most in value in the next few years are the 1895-cc, 1892-cc morgan, 1894 morgan coin, 1878-CC, and the 1883-CC. How much of an increase? If history is any indication, you can expect these rare morgan coins (especially the very popular carson city coins) to appreciate an average of 7 to 15% per year or more!

These five morgan coins have demonstrated over the years the strongest gains over a long period of time. And it is for this reason that you can expect these same coins to show a similar increase in value in the future IF you invest in MS-65 uncirculated quality or better.

Invest Only in High Grade Morgan Coins

Invest only what you can afford, but make it a point to only invest in the highest grade cc coins specimens. If you can afford to buy proof morgans, you should, because those have performed exceptionally well over the last fifteen years. The next best investments are the very high uncirculated MS-65 or better. Of course these high grade morgan dollars are pricey compared to MS-60 to MS-63, but their rarity virtually guarantees to make them a very good, high ROI investment.

Buy CC Morgans from a Reputable Source

Before you rush off to invest your hard-earned money in a MS-65 cc morgan, keep in mind not all dealers use the same grading standards and it is very much a "buy beware" situation. Only purchase cc coins that have been graded by a top-tier grading and that come in a top-tier grading service holder. Avoid all third-tier services like the plague.

Top Tier - PCGS and NGC
Second Tier - ANACS and ICG
Third Tier - All others, including ACG, INB, NTC, PCI, SEGS, SGS, etc.

Bottom line: Morgan coins and cc coins which are in PCGS and NGC slabs or holder are worth much more than coins in slabs from any of the other minor grading services, because PCGS and NGC have consistent, exacting, and largely non-subjective standards for grading.
