"1920-D" Morgan Silver over-strike, Circulated

Morgan Dollars were originally minted from 1878 to 1904. After 17 years, Morgan Dollars were minted again for one more year in 1921. For the 1921 issue, the entire coin was re-sculpted and so it has sculptural differences compared to the earlier mintages. No Morgan Dollars were minted with a “1920” date and no silver dollars were produced at the Denver Mint prior to 1921. This “1920-D” over-strike is modeled after the 1921 sculpt.

Since these are over-struck on genuine coins, they have the correct weight (no metal is added or removed), correct metallic content, and correct diameter and edge type. There may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the over-strike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike. All the over-strikes are privately and painstakingly performed using a surplus Denver Mint coin press.

All are struck on Morgan Silver Dollars originally minted from 1878-1904 and 1921.
