[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 7919610, member: 101855"]From what I have read, Morgan silver dollars circulated in the western United States, but not elsewhere. I have also read that freed slaves liked them because their value was obvious. Dollar coins have been popular only on a sporadic basis. The pre Civil War gold dollars were popular because their value was evident. The dollar bills that the banks issued needed a scorecard. The early dollars saw some use, but given grades we see today, most coins in VF, their use was limited. You seldom see one that is worn down to VG or Good. For whatever the reason, the U.S Government has never found the right formula for a one dollar coin.[/QUOTE]
