The Certified Morgan & Peace Silver Dollar 2pc Tandem Set 2023 MS70 NGC First Strike offers collectors a unique opportunity to own two iconic pieces of American numismatic history in pristine condition. This tandem set includes a Morgan Silver Dollar and a Peace Silver Dollar, both graded as MS70 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) and designated as First Strike.
The history of the Morgan Silver Dollar dates back to the late 19th century when it was first minted in 1878. Designed by George T. Morgan, the coin features Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with outstretched wings on the reverse. The Morgan Dollar was minted primarily from silver mined from the Comstock Lode in Nevada and played a crucial role in the economy of the American West.
The Peace Silver Dollar, introduced in 1921, was minted to commemorate the end of World War I and promote peace. Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the coin features the profile of Lady Liberty wearing a radiant crown of rays on the obverse and a perched eagle on the reverse with an olive branch, symbolizing peace.
Both the Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars are minted from .900 fine silver and have a weight of 26.73 grams. These coins have a diameter of 38.1 millimeters and a reeded edge. The Morgan Dollar has a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper, while the Peace Dollar has the same composition.
The design of the Morgan Silver Dollar is steeped in symbolism and reflects the values and ideals of the time. Lady Liberty, portrayed as a classical figure, symbolizes freedom, independence, and opportunity. The eagle on the reverse represents strength, courage, and national pride, making the Morgan Dollar an enduring symbol of American heritage.
The Peace Silver Dollar, with its message of peace and unity, holds a special place in American numismatic history. The design reflects the optimism and hope for a brighter future following the devastation of World War I. The olive branch held by the eagle symbolizes reconciliation and harmony, emphasizing the importance of peace in a world torn by conflict.
Both coins are encapsulated in protective holders by NGC, ensuring their long-term preservation and integrity. The packaging also includes a certification label indicating the coins' grade of MS70 and the First Strike designation, signifying that they were among the first coins struck by the mint.
The mintage of the Certified Morgan & Peace Silver Dollar 2pc Tandem Set 2023 MS70 NGC First Strike is limited to a specific number of sets, enhancing their rarity and collectibility. Coins with lower mintages are often highly sought after by collectors, as they are considered more scarce and valuable.
This tandem set is a tribute to the rich numismatic legacy of the United States and the enduring popularity of the Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. As prized collectibles, these coins represent a tangible link to America's past and continue to captivate collectors with their beauty, history, and symbolism.
