<p>[QUOTE="Ed Sims, post: 1836593, member: 59688"]There were 656,511,299 Morgan dollars minted, 86,730,000 or 13.21% in 1921 alone with 190,928,756 Peace dollars minted. The Mint did melt a lot of the Morgan dollars but so many were made that there is still a LOT of them left. The Morgan dollar is more of a classic design which many collectors like.
