Many of America’s 19th and early-20th century circulation coins have designs that the American public loved at the time and that modern collectors adore. The Morgan Silver Dollar is unique in that the design was not particularly well-loved by Americans when it was in circulation from 1878-1904 and again in 1921, but collectors covet the chance to own this particular US silver dollar design. Right now, certified 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar available here comes with a certified grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. A Mint State 65 grade is common in the Morgan Silver Dollar Series given the age of the pieces. Coins in this condition exhibit a high-quality luster given the age of the coin with either a few small scattered contact marks or as many as two larger contact marks. The coins may also have flaws such as one to two small patches of hairlines or minor scuff marks.
1921 was the final year of issue for the Morgan Silver Dollar. Introduced in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar marked the return of silver dollar coining in the United States after the passage of the Fourth Coinage Act in 1873 halted the free coining of silver in the US. By default, the act halted the production of the existing silver dollar design, the Seated Liberty Dollar. Relatively new in his tenure at the US Mint, Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan was tasked with developing a new silver dollar design in 1878 and his name has graced the coin ever since.
A portrait of Lady Liberty is found on the obverse side of all 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins. Morgan developed this bust of Liberty using design themes from Classical Antiquity. The bust of Liberty shown here is set in left-profile relief and resembles Greco-Roman depictions of goddesses such as Libertas.
For the reverse design of the 1921 Morgan Dollar, Morgan created his own version of the heraldic eagle for use on the coin. In contrast to modern versions of the seal, Morgan’s heraldic eagle is a throwback to some of the earliest versions of the seal, with a smaller eagle and no US national shield in the design.
