<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 1845888, member: 42727&quot;]GD, look at your post #7: No one wanted them back then....</p><p><br /></p><p>All I&#039;m attempting to convey is that the Morgan dollar&#039;s acceptance in the marketplace is far different than the Ike, SBA and Sac.&nbsp; I believe the west did indeed like the Morgan and that&#039;s all I&#039;m attempting to get across.&nbsp; While you stated &quot;No one&quot;, I say not so fast.&nbsp; That&#039;s all.</p><p><br /></p><p>BU,</p><p>Agree about the eastern acceptance of the coin, and I believe I stated that myself.&nbsp; The reason hundreds of millions of Morgans were minted was due to the Bland Alison Act.&nbsp; The treasury was forced to mint these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am in NO WAY trying to convince the anyone that the Ike, SBA, Sac or POTUS dollars are popular.&nbsp; That was never the intent.&nbsp; All I said was you can&#039;t compare those dollar coins to the Morgan with any significant conclusions.&nbsp; It is clear in my mind that the dollar bill is much preferred to the dollar coin.&nbsp; I am not debating that point.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only point I&#039;m debating is that the Morgan was indeed a popular coin in the western U.S. AND that the Bland Alison Act was the reason so many of them were minted.&nbsp; You cannot, in my mind, say that because there were so many Morgans in bank vaults (post office vaults, etc...) indicates that it was a failure.&nbsp; The western half of the U.S. used this coin for currency.&nbsp; The eastern half did not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
