A small number of proofs have been listed from the New Orleans, Carson City, and San Francisco mints, though unconfirmed by official records and considered by some to be exceptional business strikes. The San Francisco pieces were apparently made at the request of Farran Zerbe, President of the American Numismatic Association from 1908 to 1910, and Henry Chapman, a Philadelphia coin dealer in the early 1900s).</font></font></p><p><font face="MS Sans Serif"><font size="2"><b>Denomintion:</b> $1.00 One Dollar</font></font></p><p><font face="MS Sans Serif"><font size="2"><b>Diameter:</b> ±38.1 mm, reeded edge</font></font></p><p><font face="MS Sans Serif"><font size="2"><b>Metal content:</b> 90% silver, 10% copper</font></font></p><p><font face="MS Sans Serif"><font size="2"><b>Weight:</b> ±26.73 grams</font></font></p><p><font face="MS Sans Serif"><font size="2"><b>Varieties:</b>Hundreds of varieties are known for this extensively studied series of U.S. coinage. A reference on Morgan varieties was published in 1964, at the end of the earlier period of Treasury Department silver dollar distribution, but interest expanded greatly following the 1971 publication of a comprehensive variety book by Leroy Van Allen and A. George Mallis. The most sought-after VAM varieties (after Van Allen and Mallis) are divided into two groups, the Top-100 and the Hot-50. Of more general interest to the non-specialist are the 1878 seven/eight tail feathers versions; the 1878/1879/1880 reverse varieties; the 1879-CC/CC; 1880/79-O and S overdates; 1882-O/S; 1887/6 O and Philadelphia overdates; 1888-O double die obverse; 1899-O Micro mintmark; 1900 O/CC; 1901 double die reverse; and the 1903-S Micro S mintmark.</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
