The first Morgan Silver Dollar was minted in 1878, with production continuing into 1904, stopping only temporarily in 1904 due to a nation-wide shortage of silver in the U.S. 1921 was the final time the Morgan Dollar was able to be struck because in 1918 after we had won World War I, the Pittman Act was passed, which allowed for our U.S. government to buy and melt hundreds of millions of dollars worth of silver that would be used to create more coins such as the 1890-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. To officially celebrate our victory in the World War, the U.S. government decided to create the Peace Silver Dollar, and prior to the Morgan Silver Dollar series was the Seated Liberty Dollar series. The Barber Half Dollar and Walking Liberty Half Dollar coins were minted at the same time as these silver dollars.

George T. Morgan designed the Morgan Dollar series, including the 1890-CC Morgan Silver Dollar, which was considered by most to be a gigantic success. When George first created the design for the series, he was an assistant in the U.S. Mint, but shortly after he became the Chief Engraver. On the reverse side of his design is a brave American Bald Eagle with 7 tail feathers that is holding arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other talon. On the obverse side of the coin is Lady Liberty’s face with 13 stars surrounding her image, with each star representing the original 13 colonies. A surprise for most, the model for Lady Liberty’s design was a school teacher named Anna Williams.

The Morgan Silver Dollar series was minted at five different mints which included: Philadelphia (P) San Francisco (S), New Orleans (O), Carson City (CC), and Denver (D). 1921 was the only year the Morgan Silver Dollar was struck at the Denver Mint and had a mintage a little over 20,000,000 coins. 

Although Morgan Silver Dollars do have a $1 face value, they are made from 90% silver and 10% copper. Weighing 26.73 grams, each one has a diameter of 38.1 mm. The mintage of the 1890-CC Morgan Silver Dollar was 2,309,041, which makes it far rarer than the Philadelphia which has a mintage of 16,802,000. The above mentioned facts are only a few reasons as to why Morgan Silver Dollars have and always will be beloved by both investors and collectors.
