When the United States Mint resumed the final era of silver dollar coining in 1921, it reached back more than a decade and a half to restart its programs with the Silver Morgan Dollar design. The Silver Morgan Dollars were last issued from 1878 to 1904, and with no new design ready in 1921, the US Mint quickly revived the Morgan Dollar design for the initial 1921 silver dollar coining process. Today, 1921 Silver Morgan Dollars in certified condition are available to you online at Silver.com.

When the United States Mint resumed coining silver dollars in 1921, it was easy to revive the Morgan Dollar design. George T. Morgan had joined the US Mint in 1878, creating the original designs for the silver dollar that bore his name that same year. By 1921, he was still a member of the US Mint and held its top position as the 7th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. His original design was revived and struck from January to December 28, 1921.
All of the 1921 Silver Morgan Dollars available here come with Mint State 63 certifications. Coins in this condition have slightly impaired mint luster, scattered, small contact marks, and a few heavy marks on the surface areas. You may also notice flaws such as small, visible hairlines and scuff marks.
Please note that Silver.com selects your coins at random after your payment clears. We can only guarantee each coin is dated 1921 and features an MS63 grade. The mint marks and grading house labels cannot be guaranteed. These factors may match or vary if you buy more than one.
On the obverse of 1921 Silver Morgan Dollar Coins is a portrait of Lady Liberty. This left-profile relief of Liberty was created in 1878 by George T. Morgan and shows Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with a coronet crown and laurel wreath on her head as well.
The reverse field of the 1921 Silver Morgan Dollars comes with a distinctive image of the heraldic eagle of the United States. Also created by George T. Morgan, this design shows the bald eagle in front-facing relief with its wings spread. The eagle looks to its right (the left side of the coin) as it clutches the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons.
