1898 Morgan Dollar

1898 Morgan Silver Dollar

There was a new president in town for the 1898 Morgan Dollar! William Mckinley was the newly elected president (1897-1901).

There was still Silver that had been purchased under the Sherman Act at the Treasury. So in June of 1898 that  silver was to be minted into silver dollars. There was only so much silver to go around and by 1904 when the silver from the Sherman Act had run out so did the days of the Morgan Silver Dollar.

Although though it wasn't the last year the Morgan Dollar was minted come 1921 thanks to the Pittman Act we get one more year for the Morgan Dollar. Morgan Dollar Store wrote an article analyzing the Pittman Act if you want more information on that particular act!
