In the years following the Civil War, President Ulysses S. Grant was deeply concerned about how the rest of the world viewed America's stability. The President and Congress looked for a symbol to portray unity and strength.

As a result of these deep seated anxieties, Congress authorized the minting of a new coin, the Morgan Silver Dollar. The obverse of the coin portrayed our beloved Liberty, sculpted by George T. Morgan in the classic style of our ancient Greeks. The reverse depicted a majestic American Eagle, strong, proud and holding in its talons the weapons of war as well as the symbols of peace.

In 1921, the minting of Morgan Silver Dollars was halted forever, and a fresh new design was released known as the Peace Silver Dollars. They were originally issued to commemorate the end of World War I, the "War to end all wars" These Peace Dollars contained the same silver content and diameter of the Morgan Silver Dollars, but were struck in limited mintages only from 1921 to 1935.

In 1986, the U.S. Mint again issued genuine Silver Dollars, the American Eagles. These large, one ounce silver coins are the most popular silver bullion coins in the world today and have been minted each year from 1986 through 2008.
