The Legacy of the Flowing Hair Design

This medal celebrates the 230th anniversary of that iconic Flowing Hair design, which harks back to the very first American silver coins. The Flowing Hair design is all about Lady Liberty, her hair blowing in the wind, symbolizin' freedom and a young nation on the rise. It’s a neat nod to our roots, wrapped up in a coin you can hold in the palm of your hand.

Why the 2024-(P) Silver Medal Is Special

This particular medal is struck in beautiful silver and carries a face value of one dollar, backed by the good ol’ U.S. Government. What makes it shine even brighter is its perfect grade—the highest, MS70—which means it’s flawless to the naked eye. Collectors treasure that kind of perfection, like a fresh jar of sweet tea on a steamy Florida afternoon.

Connection to the Morgan Silver Dollar

Now, don’t let the Flowing Hair design fool ya. This medal pays tribute to the Morgan Silver Dollar, another beloved coin crafted by George T. Morgan. The Morgan was minted off and on from 1878 through 1904, then again in 1921. Folks around here have been huntin’ for those coins for generations, and they remain one of the most popular silver dollars in the United States.
