Own a classic piece of American numismatic history with the 1897 Morgan Silver Dollar, struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the height of the Morgan Dollar era. With a mintage of 2,822,000 coins, this 1897 issue combines the enduring appeal of the Morgan series with the historical significance of late-19th-century American coinage.

This example is graded PCGS MS64 and housed in a coveted Rattler Holder, one of the earliest generations of PCGS holders. The nickname “Rattler” comes from the way coins can have slight movement inside these early holders, and collectors prize them for their vintage certification history and nostalgic appeal.

Designed by legendary engraver George T. Morgan, the coin features the iconic Liberty portrait on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse. Struck from 90% silver and 10% copper, this 26.73-gram dollar measures 38.10 mm in diameter and offers both substantial silver content and timeless numismatic character.

With a PCGS population of 8,756 in MS64, this coin represents a popular grade for collectors seeking an attractive Mint State Morgan Dollar. The combination of MS64 preservation and an early-generation Rattler Holder gives this example added appeal for collectors who appreciate not only the coin, but also the history of third-party certification.
