The 1882 Morgan dollar was struck 125 years ago at the main U.S. Mint in Philadelphia (thus no mint mark). Also in 1882, Thomas Edison switched on electric lights at the New York offices of J.P. Morgan - the first commercial distribution of electric power. The powerful Standard Oil Trust was formed, and Jesse James was shot and killed by a member of his own gang. Remember the year with the 1882 Morgan silver dollar!
