2021-D Morgan Silver Dollar 100th Anniversary

Celebrate the centennial of one of America’s most legendary silver dollars with the 2021-D Morgan Silver Dollar 100th Anniversary. Released by the United States Mint to commemorate 100 years since the final year of the original Morgan Dollar series in 1921, this special issue revives George T. Morgan’s historic design in modern .999 fine silver. This version was struck at the Denver Mint and carries the distinctive “D” mint mark on its reverse.

The original Morgan Silver Dollar debuted in 1878 and was produced through 1904 before returning for one final year in 1921. That final year was especially significant for Denver, as 1921 was the only year the Denver Mint struck original Morgan Dollars. A century later, the 2021-D anniversary release creates a fitting connection between the historic Denver Morgan Dollar and its modern successor.

Classic George T. Morgan Design with “D” Mint Mark

The obverse preserves George T. Morgan’s famous left-facing portrait of Liberty. Liberty wears a cap adorned with agricultural elements and a crown inscribed with LIBERTY. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM appears above, while 13 stars and the date 2021 surround the portrait. The design captures the unmistakable artistry that helped establish the Morgan Dollar as a cornerstone of American numismatics.

The reverse features a heraldic American eagle with outstretched wings holding arrows and an olive branch in its talons, surrounded by a wreath. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST and ONE DOLLAR complete the classic design. Below the wreath is the important “D” mint mark, identifying this anniversary coin as having been struck at the Denver Mint.

.999 Fine Silver in Original Government Packaging

While the original Morgan Dollars were struck in 90% silver, the 2021 anniversary edition was updated with a .999 fine silver composition and an Uncirculated finish. The United States Mint produced five different 2021 Morgan Dollar versions recognizing the historic Mint facilities associated with the original series. Among them, the Denver issue carries an official “D” mint mark and was struck at the same Mint facility responsible for the original 1921-D Morgan Dollar. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
