Welcome to my third installment of what could be called as my display of the “currency of the dead.” This is one of my all-time favorites and most coin collectors would agree that the Morgan dollar is the best
The Morgan Silver Dollar.
To me it’s one of the most beautiful coins ever made.
It was minted from 1878 - 1904 and for one year in 1921. Their were several places it was minted, which you can find on the reverse of the coin just under the tail feathers of the majestic bald eagle.
Here is a run down on the different mints that produced this gem; if it doesn’t have a Mint mark then it’s from (Philadelphia), S is for (San Francisco)O is for (New Orleans), D is for (Denver), and CC is for (Carson City).
Here is a cool commemorative round from the Carson City Mint
Welcome to the Morgue Ann
The apocalypse has been hard on this once beautiful face. Her hair has thinned, her flesh has rotted to the bone and the flowers in her cap have wilted on the zombie Morgue Anne. Liberty is no longer free from contamination. Z2, MORGUE ANNE and 2017 are inscribed around her ghastly portrait.
And on the reverse they feature the biohazard symbol with blood spots from her most recent victims
They did a fantastic job recreating this classic masterpiece and it’s a foreshadowing of future events to come
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this post. Have a great day 👍🏼🍺🥓
