Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with no mintmark, the 2021-P Morgan Silver Dollar honors the 100th anniversary of the last Morgan Dollar release in 1921, and the transition that same year to the Peace Dollar. This modern revival was part of the U.S. Mint's centennial celebration program and featured five Morgan issues and one Peace Dollar. Struck in .999 fine silver and housed in classic U.S. Mint packaging, this BU coin brings a timeless design into the modern era.
Historical Insight:
First minted in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar reflected America's westward expansion and the wealth generated from silver mines like those of the Comstock Lode. The series paused in 1904, returned for one final year in 1921, and was then replaced by the Peace Dollar. Exactly a century later, the 2021 centennial edition was launched to honor this legacy, capturing the same elegance in modern purity and craftsmanship.
Collector Note:
With a mintage of only 175,000, the 2021-P Morgan Dollar was an instant sellout and remains one of the most coveted modern commemoratives. As the only no-mintmark issue in the centennial Morgan set, it holds special significance for collectors building a complete tribute to the historic series. Ideal for Morgan enthusiasts, silver investors, and modern U.S. Mint collectors alike.
