During the years 1878-1921, more than half a billion Morgan Silver Dollars were minted, making it one of America's best known coins. Claim one for yourself, collection or friend today.
The Morgan Dollar holds a special place in U.S. coinage as it was the first coin to feature Lady Liberty with an American look, rather than the traditional Greek style. Her cap is adorned with wheat and cotton as a tribute to America's agricultural history.
The image of the eagle was also updated for the Morgan Dollar, showing a proportionally correct eagle with beautifully designed feathers. He carries an olive branch, showing America's desire for peace, and is perched atop a bundle of arrows, signifying America's readiness to defend her borders against attack.
The Morgan Dollar flooded the markets from 1878-1904. Nearly two decades after production halted, the Morgan Dollar was seen again for one year only, in 1921, due to a renewed desire for this iconic, beautiful design.
The history of the 1921 Morgan Dollar
Before 1921 Morgan Dollars were minted, the popular Silver coins had not been produced since 1904. At that time, production of Morgan Silver Dollars ceased because the demand for Silver Dollars was low, yet the supply was abundant. Excess Silver Dollars were stored in the U.S. Treasury vaults until 1918 when the Pittman Act, passed by Congress, required the melting of over 270 million of these Silver coins in response to Great Britain’s request to buy Silver bullion from the U.S. government. Great Britain needed to buy Silver from the U.S. in order to prevent an economic disaster because rumors were being spread that Great Britain could no longer guarantee its Silver certificates.
Acquire the 1921 Morgan Dollar featuring George T. Morgan’s Lady Liberty.
1921 Morgan Dollars are the last Silver Dollars produced with George T Morgan’s iconic Lady Liberty design on the obverse. The Lady Liberty portrayed on Morgan Silver Dollars represents a departure from the traditional depiction of Lady Liberty based on Greek design. Because these were U.S. coins, Morgan favored introducing details to his Lady Liberty design that were truly American such as sprigs of cotton and wheat tucked into her cap to pay homage to the United States agricultural background. He also used an American model for the Silver coins to further inspire his design.

Apmex thumbs up for excellent customer service! Got a replacement at no cost for a coin I was willing to keep even though I was not happy with the quality. This is what I look for in a company--they stand behind their products and go the distance to keep the customer happy. Very good job customer service!

Well I was very happy with Apmex until this 1921 BU. I am no expert but when you cannot see the fields and face beacause of all the gunk on the coin along with many dings on the rim I dont see how Apmex can sell these as BU? I just wanted an average BU where I could see the features so I paid up but did not get what I expected. Not even close on this coin! Will throw it in average circulated pile and chalk it up to"oh well".
Pros
- Easy to Sell

Cons
- Poor Condition
I was wanting a Morgan BU coin from 1921 so I ordered 2 just in case one was not so great, neither one of mine met the conditions set forth by APMEX in the AD (These 90% Silver Morgan Dollars from the Philadelphia mint will grade MS-60 to MS-63). Instead I got 2 scratched and dinged coins now, I do not feel I got a good deal. For as much as I buy here, looks like they would check the inventory before it leaves the building. I do not feel I should be put out of my way for shipping something back, it should have been right from the start. In defense, APMEX has 99% met my expectations from the past. 1st time I've been disappointed.
Pros

APMEX has always met my expectations, however when I received my 1921 Morgan BU, it was not in great shape. It had all details of a BU coin but was scratched and had unnatural black gunk spots. Not impressed.
Pros

Cons
- Poor Condition

I purchased this item to add a Morgan to my order. It is a beautiful coin with great details. There are some marks on the face that really bother me every time I look at it. I love the coin but I wish I would have received on which did not have the aforementioned damage for being BU, while I understand the age of the coin.
I ordered two of these. While one on them is pristine, the other has black marks on the face. I expected the condition to be BU on both of them. Shipping was fast, per usual, and the packaging always top-notch.

My first order from Apmex. I was surprised to get the coin in a sealed casing. I also purchase a 1878 S Morgan Dollar which was also in great BU condition.

Understand how 1921 Morgan Dollars are priced, and become a better collector.
Morgan Dollar values are affected by their numismatic or collector value. Higher premiums for Morgan Silver Dollars, along with other vintage Silver coins such as Silver Liberty Seated Dollars, are based on rarity, historical significance, condition and beauty of the coins. The premium price of these U.S. Silver coins starts with their worth based on the Silver spot price, which represents the cost of one troy ounce of unfabricated Silver. The premium for the Silver bullion also includes the numismatic value, as well as markups for production, distribution and a small dealer fee.
