Srebrni dolarji Morgan so ena izmed najbolj priljubljenih serij Kovanci Združenih držav med zbiralci kovancev. Kovanec je dobil ime po svojem oblikovalcu Georgeu T. Morgan. Vsako leto so jih udarjali od leta 1878 do 1904 in ponovno oživel leta 1921 za eno leto. Nato ga je nadomestil srebrni dolar Peace.
Sprva je bil kovanec ustvarjen v korist družb za pridobivanje srebra, ko je kongres sprejel zakon Bland-Allison, ki je dejansko narekoval število kovancev, proizvedenih vsak mesec. Zakon je umetno napihnil ceno srebra, da bi zadovoljil rudarske interese. Na stotine milijonov teh kovancev nikoli ni šlo v obtok in so bili shranjeni v platnenih vrečah s po 1.000 kovanci. Ministrstvo za finance je nato shranilo vreče v vladne trezorje.
Leta 1918 je bilo skupaj stopljenih 270.232.722 kovancev, vendar so številni kovanci desetletja ostali v vladnih trezorjih. V sedemdesetih letih se je vlada ZDA odločila, da bo te kovance prodala zbiralcem. Prišli so strokovnjaki za kovance, ki so kovance razvrstili po vrednosti. Uporabljen je bil postopek zbiranja ponudb, ko so najvišje ponudbe prejele najbolj dragocene kovance. Kovanci so bili položeni v posebno držalo in jih danes zbiratelji Morganovih dolarjev cenijo.
Čeprav je kovnica v nekaj letih proizvajala kovance Proof, niso vsi kovanci, ki imajo kamejski kontrast veljajo za dokazne kovance. Kovanci, ki imajo a Deep Mirror Proof-Like (DMPL) zaključna dela so bila narejena za obtok. Mnogi kovanci v obtoku so vredni le svojih zlata vrednost. Vendar pa nekateri Morganovi dolarji so zelo dragoceni.
Glede na to, da so dolarji Morgan Silver ena najbolj priljubljenih zbirk ameriških kovancev, je to tudi ena najbolj ponarejenih serij. Kitajski ponaredki povsod množijo zbirke kovancev.
