Sherman bill seeks end of silver dollar coinage plan
The Sherman proposal to discontinue silver dollar coinage would authorize mint purchases of silver bullion and issue coin certificates, with certificates redeemable in coin. It would set monthly bullion limits, require treasury storage, and allow deposits of standard silver and gold for certificates. The bill sparks strong debate among silver advocates and financiers alike.
