1921-S S$1

Description

# 1921-S Morgan Dollar PCGS MS-65 - A Classic Late-Date Rarity. This 1921-S Morgan Dollar represents an exceptional example of the final year of Morgan dollar production at the San Francisco Mint. Graded a choice PCGS MS-65, this specimen offers a remarkable opportunity for advanced Morgan dollar collectors. The coin exhibits the characteristic Micro S mintmark typical of 1921 San Francisco Morgan dollars. Struck during the final year of the Morgan dollar series, this issue is notable for its relatively low survival rate and notoriously poor striking quality. As numismatic expert Wayne Miller famously noted, the 1921-S is "by far the worst of any Morgan dollar in terms of appearance," with most coins displaying weak, mushy strikes and abraded surfaces. With a total mintage of 21,695,000 and an estimated 10-15 million coins melted under the 1942 Silver Act, this PCGS MS-65 example is truly exceptional. Population data indicates only 329 coins have been graded at this level or higher, making this a significant numismatic specimen. The coin features the classic George T. Morgan design, struck in 90% silver with the standard 38.1mm diameter and 26.73g weight.
