  • San Francisco
    TOP HISTORY DESTINATIONS: San Francisco San Francisco became part of the United States with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, then the very next year, San Francisco became the base for the gold rush. The city instantly became the largest and most important population, commercial, naval, and financial center in the American West. The rapid growth continued through the 1850s and under the influence of the 1859 Comstock Lode silver discovery. This rapid growth complicated city planning efforts, leaving a legacy of narrow streets that continues to characterize the city to this day.

Step back to the days of the American Revolution, and you’ll find that the colonists used a variety of silver coins. Yet, the principal coin was the Spanish dollar, or 8 Reales, forerunner to America’s dollars. David M. Sundman, A legacy of our nation’s past! LCC President In 1792, Congress authorized a silver dollar, and in 1794-1795, America’s first silver dollars – the Flowing Hair – were struck. These were followed by Draped Bust dollars. In early America, the frontier was the Appalachian Mountains. Precious gold and silver was scarce, so except for a few Liberty Seated dollar patterns, no silver dollars were issued from 1804 to 1840. In 1848, the discovery of gold lured thousands to California.
