NGC MS64 1921 Morgan Dollar: A Historic Anglo-American Silver Coin (Item: YLB032N)

A Final-Year Masterpiece with British Roots

The 1921 Reissue: A Direct Link to Britain: The Morgan Dollar’s original production ended in 1904. However, under the 1918 Pittman Act, the U.S. melted over 270 million silver dollars for wartime silver, much of which was sold to Britain. To replenish stocks, the U.S. Mint resumed coining in 1921, making this coin a tangible result of this historical Anglo-American exchange.

A British Designer’s Legacy: The coin’s elegant design is the work of George T. Morgan, a distinguished engraver from the Royal Mint in London. Hired by the U.S. Mint in 1876, his portrait of Liberty remains a testament to British numismatic artistry on American coinage.

The Historic Finale: The 1921 issue is the last regular-strike Morgan Dollar before the series was permanently replaced by the Peace Dollar, marking the end of an era and enhancing its collectability.

Why NGC MS64 is Exceptional For the extensively minted 1921 issue, a high-grade specimen is key. The NGC MS64 (Mint State 64) designation confirms this coin is in superior, gem-quality condition. It retains its full, original mint luster with only the most minor contact marks. Sharply struck details—from Liberty’s hair strands to the eagle’s feathers—are perfectly preserved, making it a premium example far above average circulation strikes.

Purity & Weight: 90% Fine Silver, 10% Copper. Weighs 26.73 grams (0.859 troy oz), containing approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver.

Dimensions: Diameter of 38.1 mm.
