A Brief History of the Morgan Silver Dollar
First minted in 1879 as a replacement for the American Dollar of 1873, the Morgan Silver Dollar has a rich history. The initial coins were minted in Philadelphia, with a second mint established in Carson City, Nevada to meet the demand for coins near the source of the Comstock Lode. Over 500 million Morgan Dollars were produced, with a significant portion being melted down during World War I to provide silver for Great Britain. Following the war, production ceased as the Peace Dollar gained popularity.
