Explore the 2026 Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars

Issued during the 250th anniversary of American independence, these modern silver dollars offer collectors an opportunity to celebrate the nation’s milestone while owning two of the most recognizable designs in U.S. coinage. Struck in 99.9% fine silver, the 2026 releases combine historic artistry with modern collecting appeal.

2026 Morgan Silver Dollar

Few U.S. coins are as recognizable as the Morgan Silver Dollar. First introduced in 1878, the Morgan Dollar became closely associated with America’s industrial expansion, western growth, and emergence as a global power. Designed by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver George T. Morgan, its distinctive Liberty portrait and eagle reverse have made it a favorite among collectors for generations.

The 2026 Morgan Silver Dollar carries this classic design into a landmark year — the 250th anniversary of American independence — while offering the coin in modern 99.9% fine silver.

• Obverse: A detailed portrait of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, crown, and floral decoration appears at the center, accompanied by 13 stars, “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the date.
• Reverse: An eagle spreads its wings while holding arrows and an olive branch. “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “ONE DOLLAR” complete the design.

2026 Peace Silver Dollar

The Peace Silver Dollar represents another important chapter in American history. First issued in 1921, the coin commemorated the hope for lasting peace following World War I. Sculptor Anthony de Francisci created its distinctive design, which remains one of the most admired in American numismatics.

The 2026 Peace Silver Dollar continues this celebrated tradition during the United States Semiquincentennial, marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

• Obverse: Liberty is portrayed with a radiant crown, accompanied by “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year.
• Reverse: A resting eagle sits on a rock with an olive branch, representing peace. The inscriptions include “PEACE,” “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”

2026 Reverse Proof and Enhanced Uncirculated Anniversary Designs

The 2026 Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars feature special details created for the 250th anniversary of American independence. The Reverse Proof and Enhanced Uncirculated issues carry the dual date “1776 ~ 2026” along with a Liberty Bell privy mark containing the numeral “250.” These one-year design elements distinguish the Semiquincentennial coins from previous modern Morgan and Peace Dollar releases.

The Reverse Proof Morgan and Peace Dollars, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, pair frosted fields with polished design elements that give the historic designs a distinctive appearance. The Enhanced Uncirculated Morgan and Peace Dollars, struck at West Point, use varying levels of laser frosting to highlight individual details of the designs. All are struck in 99.9% fine silver, combining the classic Morgan and Peace Dollar artwork with features created specifically for America's 250th anniversary.

Celebrating 250 Years of American Independence

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, making it a particularly meaningful year for U.S. coin collectors. The Semiquincentennial, or 250th anniversary, commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and provides an opportunity to reflect on the history and heritage of the United States.

The Morgan and Peace Dollar designs are especially fitting for this milestone. The Morgan Dollar represents the nation's rapid growth and transformation, while the Peace Dollar symbolizes optimism and the pursuit of peace. Together, they connect collectors with different chapters of America's story while commemorating a historic national anniversary.
