Blame the Romans - it's a stylistic artifact of Latin.
I have a 1924 silver dollar and, yes, it does have trust spelled with a "v".
8-24-11>> The coin is NOT an Liberty silver dollar, it's a PEACE dollar (1921-1935) and all them have TRVST spelled like this. It's just part of the design.
It's supposed to be like that.

yes and its a ms-69 i believe
It's the word TRUST spelled with a 'V' because the Latin alphabet does not have a 'U' in it. All Peace dollars have this spelling and so do Standing Liberty Quarters.
All are spelled like that it's not a mistake it's worth $14.00-$19.00
Right idea, wrong words- in the PEACE silver dollar- 1921-35 none issued in 1929 owing to depression-naturally. Okay the word Trust is spelled in the Latin style TRVST and not Liberty . this was to play up the Latin effect. the designer was an Italian-American and the Girl on the face was partly patterned after his wife. on the other hand there is little doubt the Morgan dollar was patterned after the ancient Greek Decadrachma of Syracuse with only minor changes to accommodate Liberty on the Hat , etc.The Decadrachma of Syracuse is a very valuable and Big Ancient coin.
On the front-LIBERTY ,IN GOD WE TRUST On the back-UNITED STATS OF AMERICA,1oz. FINE SILVER-ONE DOLLAR But first year was 1986 not 1985
The link below has a picture of a peace dollar.
The spelling is NOT an error. Please see the Related Questions for more information.
The word trust is not misspelled. The Peace dollar and the standing liberty quarter both use the Latin spelling of trust as TRVST. 1925 is a common date for the peace dollar, and unless in uncirculated condition, it is worth anywhere from $25-35.
