The story of the 2021-D
A century off and the modern collector coins (1922 to 2024)
After 1921 the Morgan design went unused for a full century. No Morgan dollars were struck from 1922 through 2020 while the Peace dollar and later dollar designs took its place. Federal legislation brought the design back for its centennial.
In 2021 the Mint issued centennial Morgan dollars in .999 fine silver from Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. Philadelphia also struck pieces with CC and O privy marks honoring the Carson City and New Orleans mints. A shortage of silver blanks halted the program for 2022. It resumed with collector Morgans dated 2023 and 2024 from Philadelphia and San Francisco, including proof and reverse proof versions in 2023. These modern coins weigh 26.73 grams and are sold only as collector issues.
Elsewhere in US coinage in 2021
The America the Beautiful quarter program ended and a new reverse showing General Washington crossing the Delaware took its place. Morgan and Peace dollars were struck again for their centennial.
How to recognize it
George T. Morgan's Liberty faces left wearing a cap with wheat and cotton and a band inscribed LIBERTY, with E PLURIBUS UNUM above and the date below. The reverse shows an eagle with outstretched wings holding arrows and an olive branch above a wreath, with IN GOD WE TRUST above it. The mint mark is below the wreath, above the DO of DOLLAR.
