The Morgan Dollar was the first dollar coin minted in response to the Bland-Allison Act of 1873. This act required Treasury to purchase silver and mint it into dollar coins. Minting began in March of 1878 in Philadelphia. Mintage of the Morgan Dollar continued steadily until the passage of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890, which repealed the Bland-Allison Act. The intention of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act was to dramatically increase the production of silver dollars. The act only required increased silver dollar production for one year, but it ultimately led to rapid inflation and the Panic of 1893. The Sherman Silver Purchase Act was repealed in November 1893. Production of Morgan Dollars decreased sharply. The rarest Morgan Dollars were produced in 1895. By 1898 Congress ordered all remaining silver bullion purchased under the Sherman Silver Purchase Act coined into Morgan Dollars until 1904 when the remaining silver was exhausted. The U.S. minted Morgan Dollars again, for one year, in 1921 in Denver. This was accomplished through the Pittman Act of 1918. The design was replace by the peace dollar the same year. The coin has gone on to be a collector’s item worth far more than a dollar. Las Vegas Jewelry and Coin Buyers is the leading collector of Morgan Dollars.
