Footnote: The Morgan dollar was a dollar coin of the United States. It was minted from 1878 to 1904 and in 1921. It was later minted in 2021 as a special non-circulating coin. It was the first standard silver dollar coin minted since the Coinage Act of 1873, which had ended the free coining of silver and the production of the previous design, the Seated Liberty dollar. The Morgan dollar is named after its designer, George T. Morgan, the United States Mint Assistant Engraver. The Peace dollar was a dollar coin of the United States that was minted from 1921 to 1928, 1934 and 1935. It was minted as a commemorative coin in 2021. It was designed by Anthony de Francisci. It was the last United States dollar coin to be struck in silver for circulation.
