The 1901 Morgan dollar from the Philadelphia Mint is, with the exception of the 1895, the rarest of all Philly-minted Morgan dollars. It has a mintage of under 7 million, and many numismatic experts believe that a large number were melted under the Pittman Act of 1918. The vast majority of known specimens are encountered in circulated condition, with a relatively small number in uncirculated grades. Gems are exceedingly rare, as are PLs and DMPLs -- all of these take monumental premiums on the rare occasions they are offered for sale.

Obverse Description

Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.

Reverse Description

The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
