<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bzcollektor, post: 59408, member: 3241&quot;]Mintage has little to do with how many Morgans survived in a particular date or mintmark. Contrary to popular myth, Morgans Silver dollars did not circulate as</p><p>widely as most people think today. Most Morgans were stored by the hundreds</p><p>of millions by the Gov`t, with bags released as demand warranted. A couple hundred</p><p>million were melted by the Gov`t in 1918, and the 1940`s. There were some date</p><p>and mintmarks that were finally released by the Gov`t in huge quantities in the 40`s</p><p>50`s and early 60`s. That is why so many Morgans survive today in high grade. Other date and mintmarks were melted in huge quantities in the big melts. So for the most part, Mintage figures mean little when it comes to Morgan dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
