The Standard silver Dollar.


The coinage of the standard silver
dollar was first authorized by act of
April 2, 1892. Its weight was to be 416
grains standard SILVER; fineness, 1924;
which was equivalent to 371A grains
of fine silver, with 44A grains of pure
copper alloy. This weight was changed
by act of January Is, 1887, to 4l21s
grains, and fineness changed to 900,
thus preserving the same amount Of
pure silver as before. BY act of Feb
ruary IL, 1873, the coinage was dis
continued. The total number of sill
yer dollars coined from 1892 to 1873 was
S,O45.S3s The act of 1873 provided for
the coinage of the trade dollar" Of
weight 420 grains. and an act passed
in June, 1874, ordered that all silver
coins should only be legal tender at
their nominal value for amounts not
exceeding S." The effect of these acts
was the characterization" Of silver, of
which so much has been said. Feb.
20, 1878, the coinage of the standard
dollar of 4l21s grains was revived by
act of congress; 100000 per month
was ordered coined. and the coins were
made legal tender for all debts. public
and private. From February, 1873, to
Nov. l, 1885, 213, 257 ,594 of these stand
ard dollars were coined under the
above act.
