The ‘Morgan’ silver dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904, with a one-year return to production in 1921, after which the ‘Peace Dollar’ was made. The Morgan dollars were produced with ninety percent silver and ten precent copper in order to conform with the coinage act of 1837.
The 1921 Morgan dollars required George Morgan to create new master dies as the old dies had been destroyed in 1910. The name comes from George T. Morgan, an assistant engraver at the Philidelphia Mint which produced the winning design for the dollar.
