The Philadelphia Mint was the first US mint to be established, in order to give the nation an identity and to be able to participate in international commerce. Since Philadelphia was the nation's capital at the time, the location was chosen based on that fact. Since the 1921 Morgan was minted at the Philadelphia Mint, it does not carry a mint-mark. The Morgan Silver dollar's production ceased in 1904 but a bill was passed in 1917 that reauthorized the minting of the Morgan. Unfortunately, the US Mint already had plans of a new silver dollar and used 1921 as also a release date. In 1921, the Morgan was minted for the very last time and passed the torch to the new Peace dollar. The Peace dollar had a shorter life span than the Morgan since silver was difficult to regulate. Your 1921 Morgan has been certified by, NGC, and has earned the ideal grade of MS64. Due to millions being minted in 1921, this certified coin carries an impressively low premium.
