Additional Description: The 1921 Silver Morgan Dollar from the Philadelphia Mint marks the revival of George T. Morgan’s iconic design after a seventeen-year hiatus. Liberty is portrayed in profile, her hair crowned with wheat and cotton to symbolize the nation’s agricultural and industrial foundations. On the reverse, the American eagle spreads its wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, representing both strength and peace.
Without a mintmark, this issue originates from the Philadelphia Mint, the nation’s primary facility. Unlike earlier Morgans, the 1921 coins were produced using newly re-engraved dies, giving them a slightly more rounded relief and crisper detail. Struck in 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the coin reflects both the artistry and industrial skill of the early twentieth century.
The 1921 Philadelphia Morgan Dollar stands as a bridge between two eras of American coinage, closing the chapter on the classic Morgan design while paving the way for the Peace Dollar that would follow later that same year.
