The Morgan Dollar's replacement in 1921 was neither clean nor inevitable. The Morgan design had already been discontinued in 1904 when silver dollar production halted, and its brief resurrection in 1921 was purely a legislative accident — the Pittman Act of 1918 had mandated the melting of millions of silver dollars to sell bullion to Britain during the war, and the same act required their replacement coin-for-coin. The Peace Dollar replaced it mid-year 1921 after lobbying from the Commission of Fine Arts, who considered the Morgan artistically obsolete.
