Historical Significance

Designed by George T. Morgan, this coin was minted to utilize massive silver deposits from the Comstock Lode. It represents a period of westward expansion and industrial growth in 19th-century America. The coin was minted under the Bland-Allison Act.

Estimated Value

$30 - $60 (circulated), significantly higher for uncirculated or rare mint marks (e.g., 'S' or 'O')

Care Instructions

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can severely reduce its numismatic value. Handle only by the edges and store in a PVC-free plastic flip or holder to prevent oxidation and scratches.
