The Certified Morgan Silver Dollar 1921-D MS61 PCGS represents a pivotal moment in American coinage history. Minted during the final year of production for the Morgan Silver Dollar series, this coin serves as a tangible link to the end of an era in American numismatics.
The Morgan Silver Dollar, named after its designer George T. Morgan, was first minted in 1878. It quickly became one of the most iconic and widely circulated coins in American history, symbolizing the nation's economic prowess and manifest destiny during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The obverse of the Morgan Silver Dollar features a striking portrayal of Lady Liberty, with her hair flowing freely and a Phrygian cap adorning her head. Surrounding her are the words "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the date of issue, 1921 in the case of this particular coin. The reverse design showcases a majestic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing America's strength and desire for peace.
The 1921-D Morgan Silver Dollar holds particular significance as the final year of production for the series. Minted at the Denver Mint, one of the primary minting facilities of the United States, the "D" mint mark on the reverse of the coin indicates its origin.
With a mintage of approximately 20.3 million coins, the 1921-D Morgan Silver Dollar boasts a relatively high mintage compared to earlier dates in the series. However, many examples were heavily circulated or melted down over the years, resulting in fewer specimens surviving in uncirculated condition.
This particular coin has been certified MS61 by PCGS, one of the most respected third-party grading services in the numismatic industry. The MS61 grade indicates that the coin is in uncirculated condition with minor imperfections consistent with its age and handling. It retains its original mint luster and detail, with only slight abrasions or bag marks present.
As a certified example of the 1921-D Morgan Silver Dollar, this coin represents a tangible piece of American numismatic history. Its combination of historical significance, exquisite design, and numismatic rarity make it a prized addition to any collection, serving as a lasting reminder of the legacy of the Morgan Silver Dollar series.
