November WCCC Coin Quiz

 

 

1.     The “hot lips” Morgan was produced in which year and what mint?

 

2.     Production of the Morgan was suspended in what year due to low demand and bullion supply becoming exhausted? (again sound familiar?)

 

3.     An ill-fated attempt to revive the Silver Peace Dollar was made and struck in what year, at which time all the coinage was abandoned and subsequently melted down?
