US Morgans

gweidion · May 12, 2023, 07:52:10 PM

Somewhere on our site there was a discussion about the US Mint putting out new Morgan and Peace dollars. For the life of me I can't remember where it was. Certainly not here in World coins. Does anyone remember where it was? I'm thinking of ordering a couple.
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it was this forum? Nothing coming up when I do a search.

gweidion · May 13, 2023, 05:31:08 PM

I don't read any other coin forums so it had to be here and it was off topic. I just don't remember which topic.

A bit of googling came up with this.

They are due in July. I'm now trying to find out if the us mint website takes payments from PayPal. Nothing is ever easy.

Yes, you can use PayPal but you have to set up an account with them. It also has issues but I think I have got there.
I'll find out in July when I try to order some.

Thanks. I didn't think I was losing my mind.

I wish you good luck.

As far as I know, only 27.000 will be available (10% of total mintage). The rest of the mintage goes to the folks who enrolled in an ''Enrollment Program'' started by the US mint in July 2022. I am not entirely sure, but I think the enrollment program currently does not take new members.
There is a long thread about this subject on CCF.

Pro tip, whilst the enrolment program says it is only for US residents (and hence why for years I didn't join), it actually works for Australia.
The best thing is when it ships, it doesn't charge postage, so you get free international shipping.

Don't tell your friends, i don't want this lurk to be found out.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

They are not cheap. Someone is selling a 2021 Morgan for $180 on Trade Me (slightly less your money).

For that you can buy 2 AU common date original Morgans from the 1800s.

Morgans are my favourite of all the crowns, huge glamorous coins that evoke the wild west. I have 23 of them at the moment, mostly common - but still gorgeous coins.

The folks at CCF would be spitting tacks now, I was so anti USA coins when I was there, but now I have bitten the classic USA coin bug and love adding Walkers, Mercurys, Morgans and Barber coins to my collection.

I managed to enrol in their coin programme and paid $74 US if I recall correctly. And it came with free postage. I was surprised they honoured that. Excessive for the silver value but I wanted one. They differ quite a bit from the traditional Morgan dollars. I prefer the old ones, but not unhappy about getting a new one.

Got this from the US mint this morning.

Due to the rise of the spot price of silver and other costs, the United States Mint is raising prices on all numismatic silver products effective July 9, 2024, except for our commemorative coin program products.

As a loyal customer, we wanted to notify you this will impact the price of any subscriptions you have for the Morgan or Peace Silver Dollar Uncirculated Coins which go on sale July 11, 2024. On July 11, the Morgan and Peace Silver Dollar Uncirculated Coins will go on sale for $91.00.

Given they generally sell for ridiculous amounts I should keep getting them but nope. 91 dollars when silver is 29 dollars.
Double, okay. Triple, maybe. More, shove it.

The US mint is having slow sales of their commemorative coins as well.

https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/commemorative-programs-of-2024-show-faltering-sales

The silver proofs are being sold for $87 and uncirculated ones for $82.

I was interested in the Greatest Generation but I could not justify it at the price it is being sold for.

I managed to buy the 2023s and 2024s off a local who imported them from America, not cheap ($170 or $180 kiwi which is about $20 less per coin your money).

I have the 2023 Morgan and Peace dollars, Uncirculated and Proofs and the reverse proof pair
Also the 2024 Morgans and Peace dollars as well, but no reverse proofs (Just look ugly).

Overall its a bit pricey, but I am lucky mine are flawless, no marks or scratches and well presented, plus its a supremely struck coin, the proof coins (Especially Morgan, never been that crazy about the Peace dollar) are blazing!

Really want to get the 2021s, which are rare now - but the 2025s not so much, rumours are the American collectors are tiring off them and many are just getting the coins instantly slabbed straight away and having hissy fits when they come back 68 or 69 rather than MS70 or PR70.

The other gimmick, is they are .9999 silver, not just 90% like the original coins.

Image shows the Proof 2023 Morgan to give you an idea of its quality! :sun_bespectacled:

Very nice coin Tane.
