If you are like most people, American silver eagles, Morgan silver rounds or silver dollars have simply gotten "too expensive" to use as everyday gifts or prizes. These gorgeous PURE COPPER rounds are designed to look like a $35.00 Morgan silver round but contain no silver. Instead, they are struck from one ounce of .999 pure copper and are a fraction of the cost of a silver round!
These non-legal-tender "coins" are 39 mm in diameter and have a proof-like finish and are made by a private mint.
The obverse was designed by U.S. Mint engraver George T. Morgan and the original coins were struck by the United States Mint from 1878 until 1904 and again in 1921. The Morgan design is considered by many to be the most beautiful U.S. coin design of all time. The reverse design features a stylized USA flag and eagle with the date (2012) and the words "ONE AVDP OUNCE - COPPER .999 FINE".
FINALLY... a nice Morgan Dollar inspired "coin" that everyone can afford!
NOTE: Does not contain any silver.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING QUALITY: These rounds are mass produced by a private mint and we get them from the exact same supplier as all other coin dealers. The quality will be acceptable to below average when compared to US Mint coins since the copper is quite soft and no special care is made at the manufacturer when they pack the rounds into the loose-fitting tubes. Minor blemishes are possible since these rounds are so inexpensive. Some people expect to receive perfect, proof-strike coins that look like a $50 US Mint coin. These on the other hand are generic low-cost copper rounds. Please DO NOT BUY if you are looking for perfect quality. These rounds are NOT RETURNABLE for any reason.
