The late 19th century was a tumultuous time period for the economy of the United States, and the USTreasury suffered multiple setbacks in coin production as a result. A system of free silver coining, which required the Treasury to accept all silver it was presented and return it as coins, was put to an end by the Coinage Act of 1873.In the process, the Seated Liberty dollar ceased to exist.
As Congress, the Treasury, and mining companies in the US grappled over silver coinage, the Treasury was eventually forced to buy a set amount of silver each month to produce silver coins. The initial deal that established these parameters, the Bland-AllisonAct, was eventually repealed by the Sherman Silver Purchase Act. This deal required the Treasury to purchase set amounts of silver each month, but for one year.
The coin produced by theUS Mint during this tumultuous time period was the Morgan Silver Dollar. Named for the US Mintâs Assistant Engraver, George T. Morgan, these silver dollars featured a left-profile image of Lady Liberty on one side and a bald eagle on the other. Morgan Silver Dollars were produced from 1878 until 1904. Production ended in 1904 because all of the silver purchased under the Sherman SilverPurchase Act had been depleted.
There was a special, one-year minting in 1921as well. These are THOSE 1921 COINS!!!!!
Morganâs coin featured the image of Lady Liberty on the obverse side. Engraved above her head was the phrase âE Pluribus Unum,â while the year of minting was engraved below. On the reverse side, there was an image of a bald eagle with its wings outstretched.The eagle clasped an olive branch in one talon, and arrows in the other.Engraved above the eagleâs head was the phrase âUnited States of America,âwhile âOne Dollarâ was engraved below.
The US Mint is responsible for the production of circulation and commemorative coinage for the federal government. Morgan Silver Dollars were produced at the Philadelphia, CarsonCity, San Francisco, New Orleans, and Denver mints over the years.
