Then, it reopened in 1879-1909 since it was closed during the American Civil War and the Reconstruction period. In its prime, it produced 427 million gold and silver coins of every US denomination. The New Orleans Mint was decommissioned in 1909 but the state wanted to keep the building so it has been used for several unrelated purposes, such as a fallout shelter, US Coast Guard storage facility, and an assay office. Since 1981, it has served as a branch of the Louisiana State Museum and is now considered a National Historic Landmark; being the oldest surviving structure of a US Mint. The New Orleans Mint stamped all of their coins with an "O" mint-mark, as is this coin. There are few relics, like the Morgan Silver Dollar, that show us a glimpse into our past as an evolving country. The Morgan Silver Dollar was successfully minted from 1878 to 1904 and again for one more year in 1921. Throughout its 27 years of production, two famous mints closed their doors, three bills were passed to approve the minting of silver dollars, and the Denver Mint was established and currently stands as the world leader of coin production. The Morgan Silver Dollar has a fineness of .900, and weighs a total silver content of 0.77344 troy ounces per coin. ●Specifications of Morgan Silver Dollars: Weight: 26.73 Grams Composition: 90% Silver (0.7734 Troy Oz), 10% Copper Diameter: 38.1 mm Edge: Reeded Mints: Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, New Orleans, and Carson City.
