THE MORGAN DOLLAR WAS NAMED AFTER IT'S DESIGNER, GEORGE T. MORGAN. COINAGE OF THE SILVER DOLLAR WAS SUSPENDED AFTER 1904, WHEN DEMAND WAS LOW AND THE BULLION SUPPLY WAS EXHAUSTED. UNDER PROVISIONS OF THE PITTMAN ACT OF 1918, 270,232,722 SILVER DOLLARS WERE MELTED. SOME MORGAN DOLLARS ARE A LOT HARDER TO FIND THAN COLLECTOR'S REALIZE, THAT'S A LOT OF MELTED DOLLARS! MORGANS ARE ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTED US COINS AND A GREAT PART OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
