  • Collecting Morgan Dollars
    Collecting Morgan Dollars The Morgan Dollar’s popularity today is owed to the rich history of the Western United States and its mining and settlement activities of the late Nineteenth Century and beyond. Silver, which was once relatively scarce, became far more abundant after the great Comstock Lode dis- covery in what is currently Nevada. Individuals with heavy financial interests in Western silver needed to create demand for the surplus min- ing production. The Bland-Allison act of 1878 lobbied for by these in- terested parties did just that by creating a dedicated buyer of silver in the United States Mint. The Morgan Dollar was born that year to be the end product for the surplus silver. The law mandated that millions 1878 Morgan Dollar of ounces of silver were to be purchased and coined into Silver Dollars every year. (The Sherman Act of 1890 superceded the Bland-Allison Act and continued this process in a slightly different way.) Except for in the Western United States and to a lesser extent in the South, there was little actual demand for silver dollars; the number coined far exceeded the need for commerce. As a result, millions of excess Morgan Dollars resided in Treasury vaults for many decades before collectors rediscovered them. The fortunate legacy more than a century later is a fantastic selection of beautiful mint-fresh Morgan Dollars available at inexpensive prices. This ‘fortuitous’ supply of shiny, new ‘cartwheels’ is a boon for history lovers. These large, beautiful Mor- gan Dollars evoke powerful images of frontier days before the United States was fully settled.

  • Making Brick out of Straw: Delegate Hiram P. Bennet
    Making Brick out of Straw: Delegate Hiram P. Bennet BY JASON H. SILVERMAN On 28 February 1863 Hiram P. Bennet took the floor of the United States House of Representatives and in an eloquent plea for his constituents declared that "with a coun­ try so vast, filled with all the things that go to make up the wealth of a great state, occupied by [the Coloradoans] so patriotic a people, suffering so much neglect . is it asking too much of Congress, for the dignity and patriotism of this people, to give this promising young commonwealth the op­ portunity to become a sovereign State of this Union?"1 Unfor­ tunately this request went unanswered as Colorado statehood remained some thirteen years away. Nonetheless, during his two terms in Congress, territorial delegate Hiram P. Bennet constantly lobbied for the interests of Colorado Territory and the West. His proposed legislation dealt exclusively with the needs of his own territory and with those of the territories in the Rocky Mountain region. One account of Bennet's perfor­ mance in Washington, D.C., on behalf of his constituents noted that when "Congress did not recognize [Colorado Ter­ ritory's] needs, he told it so; when Congress attempted to interfere with its progress, he objected; [and] when he desired the aid of the National Government, he demanded it."2 Despite the restrictions of his office, Bennet accumulated quite a successful record in keeping the interests of his region before Congress.3 He secured the approval of his colleagues on proposals to initiate geological surveys; to protect settlers' and 1 U.S., Congress, House, Congressional Globe, 37th Cong., 3d sess., 1863, 37, pt.
