<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3696672, member: 66"]One comment, by the time the Civil War was getting close, no one was bring silver to the mint to be made into coins. After the Act of February 21, 1853, citizens could no longer bring silver to the mint for coinage. They could have it made into bars, for a charge, or the could sell it to the government, if the government wanted it. All coinage done after the passage of the act was done on the governments account with the government accruing the seigniorage profits, if any. The public could not bring silver to the mint for coinage again until the Trade dollar was created and then they could only have their silver made into trade dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
