The Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars were minted from 1904 to 1921 and 1921 to 1935, respectively. In 2021, the US Mint released new versions to commemorate the centennial shift between these highly popular silver coins. Investors responded positively to modern Morgan and Peace silver dollars, so the US mint planned to continue minting these coins in 2022. Unfortunately, supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic thwarted the release.
The 2023 Morgan and Peace silver dollars represent the ongoing minting of these modern versions. The obverse and reverse designs remain identical to the originals with improvements in the minting process. The Morgan dollar represents the nation’s westward expansion and industrial development while the Peace dollar commemorates the world peace following WWI. Both depict crucial times in the country’s development and growth.
