Will We Get Six Morgan And Peace Dollars Every Year?

It looks like 4, it's kind of hard to compare.
Uncirculated, you can say burnished, as far as the look it's often described as "satin"
The proof is easy, the mirrored look
The matte or sometimes called the "reverse proof", also could be called frosted.
Sometimes people consider this "other" finish as another type of Uncirculated, it's a bit shinier than the normal uncirculated. People say that's what the field was done in on the 13W. A bit shinier than the usual field on an Uncirculated, like the planchet was finished a bit differently before the strike.

So far the U.S. Mint hasn't made any changes.

Yearly Morgan/Peace Dollar so far up from 2021-2025 until this year in 2026:
Proof
Uncirculated
Two-Coin Set (Reverse Proof)

The issue this year is:
The Uncirculated is Enhanced Uncirculated Coin. (West Point in 2026, normally in Philadelphia)
The Proof is the Reverse Proof Coin (Philadelphia in 2026, normally in San Francisco)
The Two-Coin Set is not labeled as Reverse Proof but Standard Proof (Philadelphia in 2026, normally in San Francisco)

This year in 2026, the mint creating the coins changed and the strikes are different from the previous years in how it is sold.

I have the mintage/sales figures from the latest data released by the U.S. Mint. It's still pretty popular comparing on how much is sold, but decreasing yearly. Hopefully the change in the strikes will improve the sales figure.




According to the law that authorized the Morgan and Peace dollars:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th...e?format=txt

The U.S. Mint has to release yearly Morgan and Peace dollars. It does not say it has to release the proof/uncirculated/reverse proof, but only yearly like the original according to (a) Design Requirements section.

This part states that it must be minted, but doesn't say an end date, so it must be continued yearly.



This part uses the word "shall", in legal terms, it must be enforced. What I learned in law enforcement, especially in Texas, there are only two penal code that uses the word "shall" and we must enforce it no matter what. All other penal code, we have discretion on enforcement.



So will we get six yearly? No, because the law does not specifically say it. We will get two yearly at the minimum, anything more than that is because the U.S. Mint wants to.
