<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1025659, member: 24633&quot;]There were 570 million Morgan dollars struck from 1878 to 1904. An additional 86 million were struck in 1921. There was also 190 million Peace dollars struck from 1921 to 1935. It is estimated that about 340 million combined were melted as a result of the Pittman Act, World War II, damage and the silver melts of 1979 &amp; 1980. I don&#039;t have any estimates on how many Morgan &amp; Peace dollars were actually released into circulation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By 1961, there were 150 million silver dollars in the Treasury vaults. Most of them were Morgans, but there were also Peace dollars. The Treasury accounting did not differentiate between the two. So, the estimate that one-third of the Morgans were probably uncirculated is probably very close.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
