Description

1921 Morgan Silver Dollar Uncirculated Coin

1921 Morgan Silver Dollar Uncirculated Philadelphia Mint

This 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar is a significant historical piece as it represents the final year of the iconic Morgan design. The coin is in uncirculated condition, displaying a sharp strike with original mint luster and crisp details on Lady Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. Minted in Philadelphia, this coin lacks a mint mark, which is characteristic of that location. Struck in 90% silver, the 1921 issue is unique as it was the only year the Morgan dollar was produced after a long hiatus following 1904. This specific example remains well-preserved, showcasing the timeless artistry of George T. Morgan and serving as a cornerstone for any serious collector of United States coinage.

1921 Morgan Silver Dollar Uncirculated Coin

Condition: This 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar is in uncirculated condition, retaining much of its original luster with crisp details on Lady Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. There are minor surface contact marks consistent with bag handling, and a light natural patina is beginning to form near the rims. The coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint as it lacks a mint mark above the "DOLLAR" inscription. This issue is historically significant as 1921 was the final year of the Morgan design, resurrected for a single year after a 17-year hiatus following the Pittman Act of 1918. The metal content consists of 90% silver and 10% copper. This is a business strike type, intended for general circulation, and is currently raw/ungraded.
