<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1298997, member: 15445&quot;]I think most would agree that the Morgan dollars are beautiful &amp; historical.&nbsp; Did you know that they were not liked by many folk when the Morgan dollar was first introduced in 1878?&nbsp; The Morgan dollar was the result of the Bland Act and they were sometimes called Bland dollars.&nbsp; Several coin collectors were accustom to getting proof coins from the mint.&nbsp; I was told that when some first received their Morgans in the proof set, they pulled them out of their proof sets &amp; spent them as a rebellious act.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never found a proof Morgan in circulation but that would certainly be cool.</p><p><br /></p><p>The S mint dollars from 1881 &amp; 1882 are often found well struck with proof-like fields.&nbsp; Tens of thousands were stored in treasury vaults &amp; then released almost 100 years later.&nbsp; It is interesting to visit <a href="http://www.NGCCOIN.COM" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.NGCCOIN.COM" rel="nofollow">www.NGCCOIN.COM</a> and view the slabbed population reports for this date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
