The Pre-1900 Morgan Silver Dollar

in MS 64 and 65

Silver is the Ultimate Weapon Against Inflation

The U. S. Government authorized the minting of the Morgan Silver Dollar by the Bland-Allison Act February 28, 1878, named after its designer George T. Morgan. The Morgan dollar wasn’t born out of necessity, but instead, out of politics. Following the “Crime of ‘73,” an 1873 act of Congress that eliminated the Liberty Seated silver dollar, the two cent piece, the three cent silver, and the half dime, the silver interests lobbied for new coinage.They needed to relieve the oversupply of silver created by the Comstock Lode and other major silver strikes that had occurred in recent years. In 1879 the New Orleans Mint joined the Morgan dollar party, reopening the Mint. The New Orleans Mint had been closed since 1861, when Confederate soldiers seized it in the early days of the Civil War.

The Morgan dollar was discontinued after 1904 and over 350 million were melted under the Pittman Act of 1918. The Morgan Silver Dollar was produced in large quantities due to the infamous deal struck between the early Nevada silver producers and the US Mint. The silver producers of the Comstock Lode quickly learned they had a huge surplus of silver and America had hungry unemployed Americans. This suitable agreement led to the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, which authorized the minting of the Morgan Silver Dollar. Now silver from the Comstock Lode could be utilized to mint huge quantities of Morgan Silver Dollars. Sadly, they were melted without any recording of date or mint mark. Because of this reckless government melting of the Morgan Silver Dollar, this is one of the most incredible money-making opportunities in America’s most popular silver coin.
