10 oz. Silver Bar - Morgan Design Investors' Choice with Collectors' Appeal

There is nothing quite as exciting for investors as opening a package filled with bullion bars such as the 10 oz. Morgan Design Silver Bar. The wonderful thing about the Morgan design bar is that it will bring joy
to the heart of the silver collector inside the serious silver investor.

The design of this 10 oz. Silver bar features the obverse image of the Morgan dollar coin. The coin was named after a U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver named George T. Morgan. Morgan designed the coin’s
obverse to represent an American Lady Liberty rather than a Greek-style Liberty such as had been featured on American coins in the past. Above the portrait on the coin are the words “E Pluribus Unum.”

Morgan chose Anna Willess Williams, a woman he considered the most beautiful woman in the world, as his model. The coin gained a certain notoriety at the time, because it was considered scandalous that
Williams, a married woman, had five sittings with Morgan as he was creating the design. This caused the coin to become even more popular than it already was.

Silver legislation at the time prevented the coin from being struck immediately after its design. However, the Director of the Mint told Morgan to prepare the dies for the new silver bill that was expected to pass soon. The coin was minted from 1878 to 1904. Then, the silver law changed. The Mint stopped production of the Morgan dollar until 1921, when it was again legal for one year.
