2021 Morgan Silver Dollars from the United States Mint
The Morgan Silver Dollar is among the best-known and most beloved coins in American history. To this day, a century after the coin was last released into circulation, Morgan Dollars are often prized and passed down for generations. In 2021, the United States Mint is marking the centennial anniversary of its final issue with 2021 Morgan Dollars struck using .999 fine silver using modern minting expertise!
The Mint will strike these 100th anniversary Morgan Dollars at three mints: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. In addition, the Mint will release Morgan Silver Dollars struck at the Philadelphia branch but carrying a "CC" privy mark to honor the beloved but no longer operating Carson City Mint. The Carson City Mint is particularly associated with the American Wild West and the California Gold rush. Some collectors seek out "CC" coins. Another Philadelphia struck Morgan bearing an "O" privy mark to honor the fabled New Orleans Mint will also be issued. The New Orleans Mint has a particularly fascinating history thanks to it operating under three different governing bodies throughout its history! Both the Carson City and New Orleans Mint struck Morgan Silver Dollars back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries so it only seems right they would be represented with a privy mark in 2021. Both privy marked Morgans will be struck at the Philadelphia branch of the United States Mint.
Original Morgan Dollars were struck using .900 fine silver; however, the 2021 issues will be struck on .999 fine silver planchets. Plus, collectors will have the opportunity to purchase Morgan Dollars that have received the high Mint State 69 and Mint State 70 grades from third-party certification companies!
History of the Morgan Silver Dollar
The Morgan debuted in 1878. Designer George T. Morgan made history by choosing Anna Willess Williams, an American-style figure, as his model for Liberty. Up to that point, Greek models had been used. After a sixteen-year hiatus, the coin returned in 1921 for a single issue. 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of that final Morgan Dollar release.
Designs of the 2021 Morgan Silver Dollar
The Mint took great care to recreate the designs of the original coin. On the obverse is a left-side portrait of Liberty. She wears a Phrygian cap and a crown representing unity, consisting of a Southern crop, cotton, and a Northern one, wheat. Also, on her head is a ribbon that bears her name, “LIBERTY.” Two inscriptions encircle her effigy, “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “2021,” and thirteen stars.
A heraldic eagle holds arrows and an olive branch within an open wreath on the reverse. The national motto, “IN GOD WE TRUST,” is inscribed above its head. Rim inscriptions read, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
