"The fifty-six major Comstock mines struck several bonanzas or major pockets of silver ore, including six by 1864. Of these, the Ophir mine at one of the original discovery sites was the most famous. By 1865, however, these mines began to play out, causing a general depression on the Lode. It was not until the Crown Point-Belcher bonanza in 1870 that the Comstock enjoyed renewed prosperity. In 1873 the last major bonanza was discovered at the Consolidated Virginia Mine in Virginia City. The "Con Virginia" produced over $64 million of precious metals by 1880, making it the wealthiest if the Comstock mines. No new bonanzas followed, and the Comstock's "silver age" came to an end in the early 1880's." from "Silver in the Golden State" It only lasted for 25 years, and barely overlapped the start of Morgan dollar coinage. 1865-S quarter eagle   "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
