The coinage law of 1873 made no provision for the usual silver dollar. All the way through the lapse in coinage of this denomination, the gold dollar became the unit coin, and the trade dollar used to be used for commercial transactions with the Orient.Resumption of coinage of the silver dollar used to be authorized by the Act of February 28, 1878, referred to as the Bland-Allison Act. The weight (412-1/2 grains) and fineness (.900) were to conform with the Act of January 18, 1837.

George T. Morgan, formerly a pupil of William Wyon in the Royal Mint in London, designed the new dollar. His initial M is found at the truncation of the neck, at the last tress. It also appears at the reverse at the left-hand loop of the ribbon. Coinage of the silver dollar used to be suspended after 1904, when demand used to be low and the bullion supply became exhausted. Under provisions of the Pittman Act of 1918, 270,232,722 silver dollars were melted, and later, in 1921, coinage of the silver dollar used to be resumed. The Morgan design, with some slight refinements, used to be employed until the new Peace design used to be adopted later in that year.
