1921 Morgan Silver Dollar BU Condition
The 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar in Brilliant Uncirculated condition marks the final release of the original Morgan series before the transition to the Peace Dollar. Struck in .900 fine silver and weighing 26.73 grams, each coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver. Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, while the reverse displays a detailed heraldic eagle.
This last-year issue followed a seventeen-year production pause and was the only Morgan ever minted at the Denver Mint, alongside Philadelphia and San Francisco. Brilliant Uncirculated examples retain their original mint luster, sharp design relief, and uncirculated surface quality. These coins are collector-grade and chosen for their strong visual appeal and historical relevance.
