<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1822757, member: 66&quot;]They didn&#039;t like the Morgan either.&nbsp; The only time that the US silver dollar may have actually worked in this country was from 1840 to 1850. Before 1804 they were undervalued and exported, from 1804 to 1840 there weren&#039;t any, from 1850 to the 1860&#039;s they were undervalued and were worth more as metal than as money.&nbsp; From 1840 to 1850 they were properly valued and would have been preferable to the questionable private paper and bank notes in circulation.&nbsp; After 1862 there was Federal paper of fairly solid value that you could trust to be of the value stated and that paper was more convenient to use than the solid valued silver dollars.&nbsp; And by the 1870&#039;s that paper was freely convertible into silver on demand so why carry the heavy coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
