2021-O Morgan Dollar w/Box & COA

Issued as part of the U.S. Mint's centennial tribute to the final year of the Morgan Dollar series (1921), the 2021-O Morgan Silver Dollar revives one of the most iconic coin designs in American history. Although this coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, it features a distinctive "O" privy mark in tribute to the original New Orleans Mint, which struck Morgan Dollars from 1879 to 1904.

Historical Insight:

The New Orleans Mint was an essential branch of the U.S. Mint in the 19th century, producing coins that circulated widely throughout the southern U.S. and Latin America. Morgan Dollars bearing the "O" mintmark are widely collected for their rich history and often modest mintages. The 2021 centennial edition honors that legacy through a one-time-only modern reissue, combining tradition with 21st-century minting quality.

Collector Note:

With a mintage of just 175,000, the 2021-O Morgan Silver Dollar is both a tribute and a collector milestone. The "O" privy mark links this modern issue to one of the most storied mints in U.S. history. Whether you're building the full 2021 Morgan set or focusing on New Orleans coinage, this piece offers historical depth and modern appeal in equal measure.
