From the bank, for a $1 Silver Certificate, (not a Note), I got my first Morgan Silver Dollar, in the late 1950's. And spent it within a week. They did not really circulate, a lot. But the banks, by law, had plenty. All USA Dimes, Quarters & Halves were 90% silver. It was not unusual to get a 35% silver nickel, occasionally, in change. Money was real, and harder to come by back then.
Did you know that, for some reason, a USA Silver Dollar contains .77344 oz pure silver, yet $1 in dimes, quarters, or halves contain only .7234 oz? And $1, in 35% silver war nickels (1942-1945) contains 1.125 oz pure silver.
I inhereted about 20oz worth of silver coinage from grandpa after he passed. Most of it was Morgans and Peace dollars. I split it up with my brother, and to this day, all the Morgans I have are the ones that came from gramps.
Reading this I now remember you speaking on this in the past. It’s awesome to have something from your gramps i’m sure. I cherish all the stuff from my family that’s now gone. Thanks bud!
Great job brother! I never had a slabbed Morgan but the first one I got was when my grandpa passed away in 2007. I still have the 1898 Morgan in the safe!👍🏼🍺🥓
Out of all the coins I have I don't think I actually have a Morgan Silver dollar....I think I know something that is going straight to the top of the list!!
My father gave me my first Morgan 35 years ago. he had a variety store for forty years and would get a good amount of silver coins as change and he would give me some .
You almost got my story exactly. I got some old silver dollars when my grandpa passed away. I sometimes carry around an 1884 one as a love of silver has been passed down to my dad and me.

That’s the same year as the one my Grandpa left behind! Very cool brother.

It’s a great one to have for sure!

That is so cool! I’ve heard of people getting gold coins in stores back in the day too. If we could only go back and grab some!

It’s awesome you have something that has been passed down like that. I plan on giving my kids some special pieces one day. Thanks for the comment!
Nice coins. I live in europe, until now I have no Morgan Dollar.
Maybe one day you will get one! I know I enjoy coins from over there.
