In 1896, Utah was admitted as the 45th state, Cracker Jack and Tootsie Roll candies were introduced and James B. Connolly won the first gold medal during the first modern Olympiad in Athens, Greece. Another important “event” that year was the 1896 Morgan Silver Dollar. Morgans struck that year often command huge premiums — especially the 1896-O from the New Orleans Mint and 1896-S from the San Francisco Mint. Only the 1896 Morgan from the Philadelphia Mint is affordable to most collectors. Add one of these 1896-P Morgan Silver Dollars to your collection today and not only will you get a significant piece of history, but your coin will come professionally graded, certified and encapsulated by an independent third-party grading service to be in Mint State 64 (MS64) Gem Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
