<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1066merlin, post: 1034437, member: 27678&quot;]You could make a movie about the Morgan dollar. They were minted primarly because of the large amount of silver being mined in the late 1800s. So much so that the price of silver was hitting rock bottom prices. The US government bought millions of ounces to prop up the silver mining industry. Much of that silver was made into Morgans. So many were made the treasury department simply bagged up the majority of them and put them in vaults, many of those being forgotten about!&nbsp; From the 50s thru the 80s the treasury would release them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
