  • Legislation Authorizing 2021 Morgan & Peace Silver Dollars to Benefit
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, July 23, 2019 CONTACT: Deborah Muehleisen ​ Telephone: 719-482-9871 ​ ​ E-mail: [email protected] ​ ​ Legislation Authorizing 2021 Morgan & Peace Silver Dollars to Benefit American Numismatic Association and the Hobby Collectors Urged to Contact Congressional Representatives for Support Coin collectors soon could purchase 2021-CC Morgan and Peace silver dollars that support the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the hobby. Legislation was introduced on July 16 (H.R. 3757) to authorize production of 2021-dated dollar coins to mark the 1921 transition from the Morgan to the Peace designs. A combined maximum production of 500,000 proof and uncirculated Morgan and Peace dollars would be authorized under the 2021 Commemorative Silver Dollar Coin Act. An unspecified number of Morgan ​ ​ dollars could be struck with the “CC” mintmark at the former Carson City Mint, which now houses the Nevada State Museum. Sales of the two coins would include a surcharge of $10 per coin, 40 percent of which would be paid to the American Numismatic Association to help fund educational programs – after the U.S. Mint has recouped all of its production and associated costs. The National World War I Museum & Memorial in Kansas City also would receive 40 percent of all net surcharges, while the Nevada State Museum located in Carson City would receive 20 percent. The enabling legislation, jointly introduced in the House of Representatives by Emanuel Cleaver, (D-Mo.) and Andy Barr, (R-Ky.), requires 289 Congressional co-sponsors. This commemorative coin initiative is being led by Tom Uram, chairman of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC), president of the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists, and current ANA board member; and Mike Moran, noted author and researcher, and member of the CCAC since 2011.

  • Collecting Peace Dollars by Thomas Coulson the Peace Dollar Was the Last Design of the 20Th Century U.S
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Peace Dollars by Thomas Coulson The Peace Dollar was the last design of the 20th Century U.S. “Coin Renaissance” that began with Saint Gaudens’ gold designs of 1907. The new coin, like the $20.00 Saint Gaudens of 1907 was designed to be a high-relief work of art. It features a youthful Miss Liberty, patterned in part after the artist’s wife Theresa De Francisci. The reverse depicts an eagle with closed wings perched on a mountaintop with an olive branch in its grasp. At the coin’s base is prominently engraved “Peace”. The Peace Dollar was initially authorized as part of the Pittman Act of 1918 (more on that later). Though it was not specifically mentioned in 1921 Peace Dollar the form it became, it was mandated that the silver dollars melted un- der the Act had to be replaced and could be replaced by coins of a new design. After the Great War ended in 1918, interest grew in designing a coin observing the grand accom- plishment of peace that had cost so many lives in the past five years. This effort was guided by numisma- tists – most notably former ANA President Farran Zerbe; who drafted a proposal that was presented at the 1920 ANA Convention. This proposal resulted in the successful lobbying of government officials to take action. A competition for the best design was held in late November, 1921. Anthony De Francisci’s design prevailed and the Mint began production remark- ably fast on December 28, 1921. Just over a million of the new high-relief Peace Dollars were struck in the last few days of 1921.
