US Morgan Silver Dollar

The Morgan Dollar is one of the most recognizable coins in the world, captivating with its timeless elegance. Its striking motif is further emphasized by its delicate, yet more expansive cutouts. The bald eagle's outstretched wings symbolize grace and strength. Upon request, the coin can be enhanced with two brilliant-cut diamonds.

The Morgan Dollar consists of 90 percent pure silver and 10 percent copper. Today, it stands as a reminiscence of the monetary history of the United States, as it was entirely in the interest of the "Silver Party" and the silver mine owners, who lobbied intensively for its minting and preservation.

Originally, starting in 1873—the year of the "Coinage Act," also known as the "Crime of '73"—the regulation to mint only gold coins was in place. The American gold and silver standard had ended, and the monetary system in the United States was facing fundamental reform. However, with another law, the Treasury Department decided to purchase domestic silver worth at least two million dollars a month and process it into coins. Thus, the Morgen Silver Dollar was born.

What's special about this money clip is that it's not a replica of the coins, but genuine American silver dollars. As can be seen from the minted date, some of these coins are already around 100 years old. The coins already have a fairly high intrinsic value, which is further enhanced by the treatment.
