Guidelines for Collecting:

In 1921, the Denver Mint facilities were pressed into service to coin Morgan dollars, the only date of this denomination produced there since its opening in 1906. The D mintmark is tiny on all issues. Some coins were struck from dies with the D so shallowly impressed that the mintmark is barely visible.

The 1921-D variety is common in Mint State today, but you may have to search for a specimen with good eye appeal. With the new shallow dies used in production, the circulation strike quality of the 1921-D is usually light on the wreath leaves. Luster ranges from dull to frosty.

Availability in Circulated Grades:

This prolific issue is available in EF and AU but few collectors pay these grades any attention as Mint State coins are common and inexpensive.

Availability in Mint State Grades:

Always available in grades of MS-60 through the gem level. Sharply struck and aesthetically appealing coins are in the minority and require some effort to find.

Availability in Proof:

None produced.
