Morgan Dollars are named for U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, all U.S. Morgan
dollar coins were
minted from 1878 to 1904, and then again in 1921 and feature a profile of the Statue of Liberty’s face on the
obverse and a bald eagle with wings outstretched across the reverse.
The Peace dollar is a United States dollar coin minted from 1921 to 1928, and again in 1934 and 1935. Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the coin was the result of a competition to find designs emblematic of peace. Its obverse represents the head and neck of the Goddess of Liberty in profile, and the reverse depicts a bald eagle
at rest clutching an olive branch, with the legend "Peace". It was the
last United States dollar coin to be struck for circulation in silver.
