A United States silver coin minted in 1921 at the Denver Mint featuring the classic Morgan design. It represents one of the final years of production for this iconic coin series, which began in 1878. The “D” mint mark signifies its origin at the Denver facility.
This particular coin holds historical significance as it was produced during the resumption of Morgan dollar coinage after a hiatus. The reintroduction of this coinage was driven by the Pittman Act of 1918, which authorized the melting of silver dollars to provide bullion for Great Britain during World War I and subsequently mandated the reminting of an equivalent number of silver dollars. This resulted in a large mintage of the coin in 1921.
