For over eight years as a Senior Numismatic Analyst, I've seen the glint in a new collector's eye when they hold their first Morgan Silver Dollar.

Yet, with hundreds of millions minted across 27 years and five mints, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. A common 1921 Morgan might be worth $50, while a pristine 1895 Proof commands over $100,000.

How Hospital Systems Can Support Physician-Led Philanthropy for Stronger Care
Hospitals today face growing pressure. Costs rise, patient needs evolve, and staff feel stretched. At the same time, many physicians want to give back beyond their daily clinical work. They want to support patients, fund research, and improve community health. This is where physician-led philanthropy in hospital systems becomes essential. When doctors lead giving efforts, donations align closely with real patient needs. Hospital systems play a key role in making this work successful. Physicians see gaps in care every day. They understand where support is missing. When hospitals support their efforts, philanthropy becomes more focused, trusted, and effective. Strong systems help turn good intentions into lasting impact.
