History of the Morgan Silver Dollar

1878 was the first minting of the Morgan silver dollar, and it was a turbulent first year for production.In order to fulfill the quota laid out by the Bland-Allison act, the Philadelphia Mint shut down production on all other coins and worked overtime.

The central difficulty with production, however, was Morgans reverse design. Whereas eagles traditionally had only seven tail-feathers, the first version of Morgans eagle had eight tail-feathers, an issue which caused a great deal of controversy. Some of these were taken back and restruck with a corrected seven-tail-feather design, but the original feathers are still partially visible on these coins.In the same year, corrected designs were minted with only seven tail-feathers. There are two varieties of these new designs: one with parallel arrow feathers and one with slanted arrow feathers. Examples of all four designs (eight tail-feathers, seven tail-feathers, and seven over eight tail-feathers) survive.

Five years after the Coinage Act of 1873, the use of silver in coins made a bold return with the appearance of the Morgan silver dollar, now a valuable and highly sought-after coin.

In response to the 1873 discontinuation of free silver coinage, the Bland-Allison Act, passed in 1878, required the U.S. Treasury to purchase between two and four million dollars worth of silver each month to be used for minting coins.

With this act, the Morgan silver dollar was born. Mint Director Henry P. Linderman sought a design for the new coin from an assistant, George T. Morgan. Morgans design, though initially controversial, was accepted. On the obverse of the coin is a large profile bust portrait of Liberty. Above her head, along the upper rim, is the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM,and below her head is the year of mintage. On the reverse, in the center is an eagle with outspread wings, perched on an olive branch and a bundle of arrows and surrounded by a wreath. Just above the eagle's head is the motto, In God We Trust, and wrapped around the upper portion and of the rim is THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. At the bottom of the rim is the denomination ONE DOLLAR. Both sides feature a denticled rim, a rim composed of a ring of small bumps.

The Morgan silver dollar was minted until 1904, when a shortage of silver caused production to be ceased. A final mintage was produced in 1921.
