About this product

Product Information

<h2>Q. David Bowers</h2>The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993). <br/><br/>Coinage Context <br/><br/>San Francisco Mint. Like the Philadelphia and Denver facilities, the San Francisco Mint was pressed into service to strike large quantities of new Morgan dollars in 1921. Coinage began on May 9, 1921. <br/><br/>Numismatic Information<br/><br/>Commentary: The 1921-S dollars, like the 1921-D coins, all have a Micro S mintmark. <br/><br/>In B. Max Mehl's sale of the Alex J. Rosborough Collection, April 9, 1929, a 1921-S was catalogued as follows: "1921-S Microscopic S. AU. This specimen is one of the first 50 struck, secured by members of the Pacific Coast Numismatic Society." Apparently, such coins had no special surface quality apart from normal circulation strikes. <br/><br/>Hoard coins: Dollars of this date and mint were scarce during the 1920s, for relatively few were released. This changed when quantities were paid out from storage at the San Francisco Mint at intervals from the 1930s through the 1950s. 1921-S dollars were little esteemed in their time, thus few original mint-sealed bags were saved. Not even casino operators and other silver dollar hoarders liked the 1921 Morgan from any of the three mints. Today, while individual coins are exceedingly common, bags of 1921-S are few and far between. The Redfield estate (1976) apparently had a partial bag. The Numismatist, December 1939, told of a recent release of 1921-S Morgan dollars: <br/><br/>Morgan Type Dollar From San Francisco Mint: An interesting sight in the daily change around San Francisco recently has been the 1921 Morgan dollars in Mint or Uncirculated condition, some having just been released in that condition through the regular course of business.<br/><br/>It is thought that possibly 10 to 15 million were melted under provisions of the 1942 Silver Act. In comparison to surviving 1921 Philadelphia Mint coins, 1921-S dollars are far more elusive than the respective mintage differences (approximately 2:1) would indicate. <br/>Circulated grades: In worn grades the 1921-S dollar is very common. An estimated two to four million survive. <br/><br/>Mint State grades: The usually-seen Mint State specimen is very poorly struck, has abraded surfaces, and even if the lustre is rich (as it is on some), the high points of the design are apt to be dull. Fully struck, lustrous coins exist, are scarce, and when seen are apt to be bagmarked. Of the 1921-S, Wayne Miller noted the following: "This date is by far the worst of any Morgan dollar in terms of appearance. Most are a weak mushy strike."<br/><br/><br/>As is the case with other 1921 Morgan issues, grading interpretations for 1921-S are rather loose in comparison to earlier Morgan dollar dates.<br/><br/>My population estimates are as follows: MS-60 to 62, 1,000,000 to 2,000,000; MS-63, 200,000 to 400,000; MS-64, 30,000 to 60,000; and MS-65 or better (per current interpretations), 2,000 to 4,000.<br/><br/>Prooflike coins: Semi-prooflike 1921-S dollars are occasionally seen, but with far less frequency than with their Denver or Philadelphia Mint counterparts. Full prooflike pieces are great rarities; possibly fewer than a dozen exist (could these be "Zerbe Proofs," described below?). As a class, the PL and DMPL Denver Mint coins of 1921 are much scarcer than those of the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints. Be careful when buying these. See my comments under 1921 Prooflike; they also apply here.<br/><br/>1921-S "Zerbe Proof" dollars: The following is from an article, "Notes on 1895 Morgan Dollars," by Stuart Mosher, in the July 1955 issue of The Numismatist

    Late Morgan Dollars - Just Beautiful!

    Great thing about later Morgan Dollars is they have not been used as much and are still clear - the imprints are clear and precise. In some of my past experiences with Morgan dollars is that they are pretty smooth from use and being carried in someone's pocket or pouch. The later dollars are so much clearer and clean. This is a very nice coin and is clear/clean/precise.

    The Silver shortage is coming !! Predictions are out !! Buy Silver now !!

    The Morgan Silver Dollars are a favorite coin i have collected for over 50 years . Many availabe now on ebay at a great price . Their is nothing i dislike about collecting SILVER dollars . Many are well over 100 years old and in such prestine condition which means someone in the past has watched over and protected these rare coins for further generations to own and enjoy . My late Uncle gave me my first silver dollar to commenorate his trucking company beginning in 1923.He gave me the coin for a Christmas present in 1963.It is a Piece Dollar and i still have the coin . I will purchase more Morgan and Piece type silver dollars till my collection is complete .
