1921 Morgan Silver Dollar – Philadelphia Mint (Final Year Issue)
This 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar represents the final year of the classic Morgan Dollar series — a beloved design that defined American silver coinage for over four decades.
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin features a fresh master hub used only in 1921, giving Liberty’s portrait and the eagle’s feathers a slightly sharper, more modern appearance compared to earlier issues.
The obverse displays Lady Liberty in profile wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton, while the reverse showcases a bold American eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, framed by a detailed wreath.
This example shows light, even circulation wear with strong remaining detail and a bright, original silver tone.
