History of the 1879 Silver Dollar
The 1879 Silver dollar was created by George Morgan as a effect of the Bland-Allison Act. In the late 1850s, history's great silver charge ever- the Comstock Lode- was discovered. This put a lot of pressure on the prices of silver throughout the world. The Bland-Allison Act was passed in 1878, an act that required the Treasury group to buy large quantities of silver and turn them into coins. To help economy, they chose to make them into dollars. When George Morgan first came to the United States from England, he was immediately hired as an assistant engraver in 1876. He became very flourishing at designing coins and is also known for his "Schoolgirl" 1879 Silver Dollar.

Another of the creation of George T. Morgan is the Schoolgirl silver dollar. The reeded-edge dollar has Lady freedom facing left with her hair tied with a ribbon. freedom is inscribed in the hair band. She wears a string of pearls. The date and the words E Pluribus Unum are separated by the 13 stars. The back side of the coin has an eagle with its wings raised and on a scroll with In God We Trust. Arrows and an olive subject are opposite the scroll. Although there were similar spectacular dollar designs made that year, the Schoolgirl pattern was one of the most notable.
