When Jesse James and his gang robbed a bank, a big chunk of their loot was sacks of Morgan Silver Dollars, often called "Cartwheels" because they were the largest U.S. coins ever minted for circulation. Struck in .900 Fine Silver from the famous Comstock Lode, they were the favorite form of currency in the old Wild West.
Morgan Dollars went out of circulation more than 80 years ago, and thousands of collectors have gladly paid for the surviving specimens of these scarce and valuable coins. Act now - supplies are limited.
Each coin is hand selected and certified to be in Very Good or Better condition.

But to hold one in your hands is to feel the weight of history. It never fails to impress me that these coins were minted from ore mined at the largest silver strike in the history of North America—the famed bonanza known as the Comstock Lode. Click Here to Read More
