Shockingly, Morgan silver dollars were not exactly welcomed with open arms, when they first came out in 1878. There were many people who thought that the eagle on the reverse of the coin was unattractive and referred to the Morgans as “Buzzard Dollars”. Because of its weight and large size, the coin was also called a “cartwheel”. Morgan silver dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904, with a revival in 1921, at five U.S. Mints: Philadelphia, San Francisco (1878-1904, 1921), Denver (1921), New Orleans (1879-1904) and Carson City (1878-1885, 1889-1893). The Philadelphia Mint produced Morgan dollars each issue year; however, there are no known circulation strikes for 1895, since all were believed to be melted down. In present day, the spectacular Morgan dollars are hugely popular worldwide.

The year was 1921 and the last year for production of the remarkable Morgan silver dollars, Warren Harding is President, the end of World War I was official and the United States’ economy was booming. The New Orleans Mint closed its doors in 1909 and was briefly used as a Coast Guard storage facility, an assay office and a fallout shelter. Today it operates as a museum. The need for the exquisite Morgan silver dollars in 1921 rose to such an extent that the government resumed their production, for less than a full year, with just a few minor alterations. Denver minted 20,345,000 Morgans, Philadelphia produced 44,690,000 and San Francisco struck 21,695,000 Morgan silver dollars.

Now here is a very interesting story. On one day, an Indiana farmer thought that his cellar was dirty and rolled up his sleeves and got to work. Eventually he came upon this dusty crate that was tucked away and forgotten for decades. Wouldn’t you have loved to see the look on his face, when he opened that crate? Inside was a hoard of the last Morgan silver dollars that were minted, before production ended in 1921. The farmer had purchased these breathtaking Morgans from a local bank, at face value and put them away for his retirement. It is amazing that these Morgan dollars survived the government silver meltdowns, like the Pittman Act of 1918, which destroyed 270 million Morgan dollars. Between 1921 and 1965 the government melted down millions more, for their silver content, which all but obliterated supplies. Private hoards today account for almost all of the surviving coins.
