Morgan Dollar Silver coins were issued by the United States Mint from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. Over the course of time, the Philadelphia Mint, San Francisco Mint, New Orleans Mint, Carson City Mint, and Denver Mint all issued the coins at some point in time. Philadelphia and San Francisco issued the coins every year. Denver only issued the coins in 1921. New Orleans missed only the first and last years in the collection. The Carson City Mint had a more unique coining history.
