Morgan Dollars
1921 $1 MS67 PCGS. Only on rare occasions do we have the opportunity to present a Superb Gem 1921 dollar, one of the notable condition rarities of the series despite its colossal mintage of more than 44 million pieces. Struck from low-relief hubs hastily prepared after a 17-year hiatus in the manufacture of Morgan dollars, the 1921 issue has not endeared itself to collectors or the grading professionals.
It is still rarer to offer an MS67 example with attractive and vibrant original toning. Rainbow iridescence intermixes with olive-gold and rich grayish-blue patina -- all-encompassing on the obverse, and present throughout the margins on the reverse. The obverse strike is particularly strong on this coin, with Liberty's hair strands crisp and fully defined. The eagle is unavoidably weak at the knees, but generally sharp for the issue nonetheless. Here is an important opportunity for Morgan dollar specialists to acquire a distinctive and exceptional 1921. None are certified finer. Population: 14 in 67, 0 finer (6/17).
