NGC Special Labels and Designations for Morgan and Peace Reverse Proof Set at the Whitman Expo

The US Mint is releasing the 2023-S Morgan and Peace Dollar Two-Coin Reverse Proof Set on November 9, 2023, during the Whitman Winter Expo in Baltimore, Maryland. To celebrate the new set, Numismatic Guaranty Company® (NGC®) is offering special labels and designations that enhance the coins and mark the occasion of their release.

NGC will offer the First Day of Issue, First Day - Baltimore and Baltimore Show Releases designations for qualifying coins submitted to NGC at the Whitman Expo. Special submission instructions must be followed. For regular submissions of these coins, click here. For more information on NGC attending the Whitman Expo, click here.

The Morgan Dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904 after a storied production process. It was later minted again in 1921, before finally being retired. The Peace Dollar, minted from 1921 to 1935, replaced the Morgan Dollar. It became a symbol of America's modernization in the 20th century in addition to commemorating the peace achieved after World War I.

In 2021, to recognize the 100th anniversary of the significant transition from the Morgan Dollar to the Peace Dollar, the US Mint released a new series of Morgan and Peace Dollars. Altogether, NGC has graded more than 5 million Morgan and Peace Dollars, including more than 190,000 examples of the 2021 Morgan Dollar and more than 35,000 examples of the 2021 Peace Dollar.

After a one-year hiatus, the Morgan and Peace Dollars returned in 2023. NGC has already certified more than 115,000 2023 Morgan Dollars and more than 115,000 2023 Peace Dollars. With coins struck in San Francisco, the two-coin set contains the final Morgan and Peace Dollars being released this year. It also represents the first time either coin has been available in the Reverse Proof finish, in which the devices (rather than the fields) are given a mirrored treatment.

The NGC Morgan Dollar label and the NGC Peace Dollar label convey the labor and optimism of the American spirit embodied in these coins. The labels are available for all submitters of 2023 Morgan and Peace Dollars. They are also offered for bulk submissions of vintage Morgan and Peace Dollars, and oversize versions are available for bulk submissions of multi-coin sets.

Additionally, NGC will offer exclusive Baltimore Show designations for qualifying coins. These designations are available for coins that are purchased at the Whitman Expo and submitted with the original Mint purchase receipt.
