Silver dollar
A silver dollar is a coin made primarily of silver that was historically used as currency or for collectible purposes. In the United States, silver dollars like the Morgan and Peace dollars were minted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are valued for their silver content and historical significance. Today, they are often collected by numismatists (coin collectors) due to their design, rarity, and silver value. While they can still be used as currency in some contexts, most are appreciated as investment pieces or collectibles.
