Description

The Silver Story Framed Display – 1881 Morgan Dollar & 1957 $1 Certificate

Commemorative framed display titled “The Silver Story,” illustrating the legacy of U.S. silver coinage and currency. The presentation includes:

  • 1881 Morgan Silver Dollar (90% silver, 1878–1935 issue)
  • Silver Granules Capsule (sample of raw silver ore)
  • World War II “War Nickel” (1942–1945, silver alloy used for wartime needs)
  • Mercury Silver Dime (1916–1945 design, 90% silver)
  • 1957 $1 Silver Certificate – the final issue redeemable for silver

The printed panel details the history of silver in American coinage, from early minting to the discontinuation of silver redemption. Beautifully presented within a decorative wooden frame with gilt inner border, this set celebrates a defining era in U.S. monetary history.
