1891-S Morgan Silver Dollar XF

Saved From Extinction: 1891-S Morgan Silver Dollars

While western miners were creating a veritable river of silver from Nevada’s Comstock Lode in 1890, the folks in Washington, D.C., were erecting bureaucratic dams that limited how much the government was able to buy. In response, the miners and their pet politicians dug in their heels and began a massive push on Congress to force the government to increase federal spending on silver. The arm-twisting worked and 1890 saw a substantial boost in spending – and with it an increased mintage of Morgan Silver Dollars!

Low-Mintage, Key-Date San Francisco Morgans

But the silver-buying bonanza proved to be a one-year fix and a year later in 1891, none of the mintages from the four mints – Carson City, New Orleans, Philadelphia and San Francisco – that struck the coin exceeded 8.6 million. In fact, the mints actually struck 14.4 million FEWER Morgans in 1891 than they did in 1890! Already a lower mintage release, the 1891 Morgan was pushed further to the brink of extinction by the Pittman Act in 1918, which resulted in the melting of 270 million Morgan Silver Dollars, which was nearly half the entire mintage of Morgans ever struck! Today, coin experts estimate that only 15% of all Morgans ever minted exist today in any condition!
