1921-S S$1

Description

# 1921-S Morgan Dollar PCGS MS65 - A Classic Late-Date Silver Treasure. This 1921-S Morgan Dollar represents a fascinating chapter in American numismatic history, struck during the final year of the iconic Morgan dollar series at the San Francisco Mint. Graded a solid PCGS MS65, this specimen offers exceptional quality for a date notorious for poor striking and surface conditions. Minted during the waning days of Morgan dollar production, this coin emerged from a substantial mintage of 21,695,000 pieces. The Micro S mintmark is characteristic of 1921 San Francisco issues, and the coin exhibits the typical challenges of late Morgan dollar strikes. Numismatic expert Wayne Miller notably described 1921-S dollars as "by far the worst of any Morgan dollar in terms of appearance," making this high-grade example particularly desirable. With a PCGS population of just 333 coins at this grade level, this 1921-S Morgan represents a significant numismatic opportunity. The coin's 90% silver composition and historical significance make it a prized addition to any serious collection. Struck in the final year of Morgan dollar production, this piece captures a pivotal moment in United States coinage history, bridging the gap between the classic Morgan and the incoming Peace dollar design.
