The American silver dollar is a coin that has been produced by the United States Mint since the late 18th century. It typically contains 90% silver and 10% copper, making it a valuable collectible and investment piece. The most famous silver dollar is the Morgan dollar, minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, featuring a portrait of Lady Liberty on one side and an eagle on the other. Another notable silver dollar is the Peace dollar, minted from 1921 to 1935, which symbolizes peace following World War I. These coins are often sought after by collectors and can vary in value based on their condition and rarity. The American silver dollar remains an important part of U.S. numismatic history.
