Gobrecht Dollar

Minted from 1836 to 1839, it was the first silver dollar struck for circulation by the United States Mint since production of that denomination was officially halted in 1806. The coin was struck in small numbers to determine whether the reintroduced silver dollar would be well received by the public.

Liberty Seated Dollar

The coin was struck by the United States Mint from 1840 to 1873 and designed by its chief engraver, Christian Gobrecht. The Liberty Silver Dollars are famous for their inspiring design.

Trade Dollar

The United States trade dollar was minted by the United States Mint to compete with other large silver trade coins that were already popular in East Asia. The idea first came about in the 1860s, when the price of silver began to decline due to increased mining efforts in the western United States.

Morgan Dollar

Produced for more than 40 years, the Morgan Silver Dollar was in circulation longer than any other. Heralded as boasting the best of all the Silver Dollar designs, the Morgan was an immediate hit with US citizens when it was released back in 1878.
