In 1921, why did the United States issue silver dollars?

The Morgan dollar was never that well known to people in general. In 1878, Congress came up with it as a way to give money to the politically powerful silver mining industry. After the last Morgan dollars were minted in 1904, no one expected to see any more. The U.S. Mint disposed of the obsolete hubs and dies in 1910, which destroyed the master hubs.

Morgan dollar production resumed in 1921 as a result of events in World War I in 1918. During World War I, the British silver shortage put the Allied side in jeopardy. In India, they had issued more silver certificates than backing silver. Assuming India revolted, the English would find to make harmony with Germany. Consequently, the British government requested silver from the United States.

A heap of Morgan dollars, A heap of money.

The "Silverite" section of Congress refused to support the melting of silver dollars, even though it would have lost the war. Initially, this group had pushed for the Morgan dollar's creation. However, in exchange for their support, they demanded that each melted silver dollar be replaced following the war. See "The Pittman Act of 1918: Boondoggle or Justifiable Morgan Dollar Massacre? for more information.)

After the war, the U.S. Mint was compelled by the 1918 Pittman Act to purchase silver for $1 an ounce to replace the 270 million silver dollars that had been melted down. The silver miners preferred to sell their ore on the open market if silver prices exceeded one dollar. They cried out for the government to buy their silver once it fell below that level. In 1920, that moment they arrived.

The Morgan Dollar of 1921:

 The "deal with the silver devil" of 1918 had ended. Once more, the government purchased silver at a price higher than the market price. As a result, in March 1921, silver prices fell to 53 cents an ounce.)

Chief Engraver of the Mint George Morgan created brand-new low relief hubs from scratch after the master Morgan dollar coin hubs were destroyed in 1910. But, instead of making pretty coins, he was more concerned with making the most of the coin dies.

This brought about a coin that looked level and inert, in any event, when ultimately struck. Since the Peace dollar would take place in December, this would be the last year the Morgan dollar existed. At the Mint, the focus was not on remembering this but hurrying them out the door. In any case, they would never see the light of day.

The paper silver certificates in circulation were backed by silver dollars kept in vaults at the Treasury Department. You could request that your certificate be exchanged for 1965 quarter silver dollars, but this was rarely done. So instead, the massive silver coins were stacked in canvas bags inside locked vaults.

Why Acquire Back The Silver Dollar The Primary spot?

Seventeen years since the first silver dollars were issued in 1921. There was no need or desire to produce additional Morgan dollars because the Treasury Department's coin vaults literally held hundreds of millions of unwanted ones.

Congress had different plans. The 1918 Pittman Act made a promise to politicians from silver-mining states to replace all 270 million silver dollars that were melted to support the war effort in a "deal with the silver devil." That bill was due when silver prices fell from their wartime highs in 1921.
