About the Morgan Silver Dollar
In February 1878, the Bland-Allison Act was implemented and ordered the government to purchase several million dollars worth of silver every month and coin them into silver dollars – that’s how the Morgan Dollars came about.
Though not required for commerce usage, it was required to artificially stabilize the price of silver at the request of the silver mining interests in America. The first batch of Morgan silver dollars was minted in 1878.
The Morgan Silver Dollar was minted in 5 different mint states:
Philadelphia
New Orleans (mint mark O)
San Francisco (mint mark S)
Carson City (mint mark CC)
Denver (mint mark D)
The Morgan Dollar was circulated from 1878 to 1904. It came back into circulation for one year only, in 1921 in Denver.
Design of the Morgan Silver Dollar
The obverse on Morgan Dollars shows a Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with “Liberty” on the hair band. The reverse depicts a bald eagle holding onto a bundle of arrows and an olive branch.

About the Peace Silver Dollar
The origins of the Peace Silver Dollar came about when a competition was held to design a peace coin in celebration of the end of World War One.
The paper, called “Commemorate the Peace with a Coin for Circulation”, called for proposals on fresh designs to commemorate world peace after the war. The winner of the competition was Italian American Sculptor Anthony de Francisci.
Design of the Peace Silver Dollar
The obverse on the Peace Dollars shows a left profile of a finely chiseled portrait of Liberty (in which Francisci used his wife as a model). The reverse features the Bald Eagle on top of a rock with olive branches in its talons with Sun Rays on the background. The word “PEACE” is embedded on the rock.
