Guidelines for Collecting:

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 started on May 9, 1921. Similar to the 1921-D, the 1921-S dollars have a tiny, micro-S mintmark. This issue is common in all grades including Mint State, but is seen less often than those minted in Philadelphia and Denver the same year. Most coins are shallowly struck on Miss Liberty’s hair and on the reverse.

Availability in Circulated Grades:

Always available but seldom sought for collections owing to the plenitude of Mint State coins.

Availability in Mint State Grades:

Another “name your grade” issue, the 1921-S can be obtained right up to gem MS-65 without much difficulty. Buyers should look for a gem with a bold strike and great aesthetics for a winning combination. Just be prepared to examine many examples before the above combination is found.

Availability in Proof:

None produced.
