<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 436628, member: 12965&quot;]Howdy fellow coin peeps, <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The following statement is concerning the minting of the Silver Dollar for &quot;circulation&quot; by the U.S. Mint and is either true or false:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Silver Dollar was first minted in 1794 (Flowing Hair 1794-1795) and was followed by the Draped Bust (1795-1804) which was then followed by the Seated Liberty (1836-1873 - includes the Gobrecht type) which was then followed by the Trade Dollar (1873-1885) which was then followed (slight overlap) by the Morgan Dollar (1878-1921) which was then followed by the last silver dollar for regular circulation (non-bullion/commemorative), the Peace Dollar (1921-1964). In 1936 the U.S. went to paper only for the dollar (non-bullion/commemorative) and the icon Silver Dollar (non-bullion/commemorative) was no more, except for 1964 when the U.S. Mint (Denver) minted 316,076 1964-D Peace Dollars but they were ordered to be destroyed and while there are rumors a few survived, not one has surfaced but we can always hope. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: Please do not post remarks about this Trivia Question. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Select the best answer then hop back in now-and-then to see how well the other members did. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I figured there are a lot of members that don&#039;t know everything about specific denominations and this will be a good way to help educate them. :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pps: If you read the information/question above, please &quot;vote&quot; and don&#039;t just leave without voting. This is an exercise in coin collecting knowledge and if you don&#039;t know the answer, you should but if you don&#039;t answer the question, how do you know if you know the truth? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ppps: It has been brought to my attention that I left off the Ikes. First, I was talking about Silver Dollars and not clad. Second, the Ikes that are/were silver are proofs, so they were not meant for circulation and also fall outside this trivia question. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Lastly, I did not use &quot;slight of tongue&quot; to try and trick anyone. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pppps: There are a few peeps that know Trade Dollars were not minted for circulation in the US, however, they were minted for circulation elsewheres (other than proofs) and in the &quot;question&quot; above, no where do I specify circulation in the US only. So, for the purpose of this question, circulation is circulation is circulation, except for proofs. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
