When I see the term "Silver Dollar" it conjures up images of Morgans and Peace Silver Dollars. Other coins made of silver whether of dollar value or not just aren't "Silver Dollars" to me.
I'm not even sure how to respond to that!
Oh wait, here's a response!
One of my favorite "Silver Dollars"
Very nice. Yes I have some of those too (though not that stunning) but I would not be surprised to learn that in their day they were not typically referred to as "Silver Dollars" which likely became synonymous with the Morgans and Peace Dollars of a later era.
It would be fun to be proven either right or wrong on this point but that may be quite a challenge since finding printed references to them as "Silver Dollars" would not establish what they were most commonly called at the time.
Now in Nevada, where I spent my earliest years, the term "Silver Dollars" meant only one thing - those silver discs that numismatists would have referred to as Morgans or Peace Dollars.
If it ain't a silver dollar what is it???
I'll bet Numismatic Historian and author Roger Burdette could find out for us. Miss his contributions here on the forum.
@Catbert said: @Inspired70 - Do you have a registry set? I'd love to see your collection.
I'm mainly a type collector so not a dollar collector.
@Catbert I have not taken the time to set up a registry set. I think I will one day, but have been collecting seated dollars for some time. Try to focus on MS. If they come with strong eye appeal, all the better as I think most would agree. As an example, here is my 1854 MS 63 CAC.

I've always had a love for Peace dollars.

Nothing is as expensive as free money.
