Overview

A modern private-mint silver tribute round featuring the iconic Morgan Dollar design with a brilliant proof-like finish, dated 1964.

Historical significance

Original Morgan Dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904, and in 1921. Although Congress authorized Morgan dollars for 1964, none were officially released for circulation (and most were allegedly melted), making a 1964-dated Morgan a popular concept for private mints and fantasy issues.

Obverse (front)

Profile of Lady Liberty facing left wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with cotton and wheat, surrounded by stars, the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the year 1964.

Reverse (back)

A heraldic bald eagle with wings displayed clutching arrows and an olive branch, surrounded by inscriptions indicating it is a tribute and .999 fine silver, with 'ONE DOLLAR' at the bottom.

Estimated value

$30-$50 (primarily valued for its .999 fine silver bullion content plus a small premium)

What drives this coin's value

Current spot price of silver, physical condition, and appeal as a silver bullion round rather than official numismatic rarity.

Grade assessment

Proof-Like / Uncirculated (protected in capsule)

Mintage & rarity

Not applicable; produced by private mints in unknown quantities as commemorative bullion rounds.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check the edge for silver content stamp if applicable, perform non-destructive specific gravity or ping tests if removed from capsule, and note that the reverse explicitly states 'TRIBUTE' and '.999 SILVER', confirming it is not an official US Mint issue.

Notable varieties & errors

Various private mints produce these 1964-dated tribute rounds with differing proofs, finishes, and privy marks.

Similar coins

Genuine 1964-D Morgan Dollars (which are legendary trial pieces largely believed destroyed) and genuine 1878-1921 US Morgan Dollars.

Care & preservation

Keep inside its protective plastic capsule to avoid fingerprint oils, scratches, and tarnish. Never clean the coin, as harsh cleaning ruins the proof finish and diminishes collector value.
