1921 S$1 Morgan, MS

Description

# 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS-66 - A Classic Year of Coinage. This 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar represents a fascinating chapter in American numismatic history, struck during the final year of the Morgan dollar series at the Philadelphia Mint. Graded a premium PCGS MS-66, this specimen offers exceptional quality for a date notorious for poor striking and limited aesthetic appeal. The coin emerges from the unique context of the Pittman Act of 1918, which mandated massive silver dollar recoinage. Struck with shallow relief dies created by George T. Morgan, this dollar features a distinctively flat design compared to earlier Morgan issues. The obverse displays a nearly flat cheek on Miss Liberty, with bolder hair lines and reduced facial detail, while the reverse exhibits a flat eagle with minimal feather definition. Certified by PCGS with Population: 244 in MS-66, this example represents a superior specimen from a massive mintage of 44,690,000 pieces. The coin's frosty luster and sharp details make it a remarkable representative of the 1921 Morgan dollar, a year characterized by expedient mass production rather than numismatic refinement. Collectors will appreciate this exemplary specimen that captures a pivotal moment in U.S. coinage history.
