About the 2024 Flowing Hair Medal

This silver medal marks the 230th anniversary of a design that’s as timeless as a summer porch swing. It carries the proud Flowing Hair label, nodding to one of the earliest styles seen in American coinage. Crafted with care, it’s a modern commemorative that captures the spirit of our country’s numismatic history.

What makes this medal stand out even more is its flawless MS70 certification — that’s the highest grade a coin or medal can earn, meanin’ it’s in pristine, perfect condition, just like the day it left the mint.

The Morgan Silver Dollar Connection

Now, while this medal celebrates the Flowing Hair design, it’s closely tied to the legendary Morgan Silver Dollar. Named after George T. Morgan, the artist who gave us the iconic lady Liberty profile, these dollars were first minted way back in 1878 and kept on rollin’ until 1904, then made a comeback in 1921.

Folks just can’t get enough of Morgan Dollars — they’re a cornerstone piece for many collectors, thanks to their classic look and rich history.
