Owner Comments:
I am not a Morgan Dollar collector per say. Currently working on assembling a Custom Set: “First US Dollar Study and Collection”. In doing so I am trying to obtain a specimen from the first year of each dollar series. Because of the Pittman Act there was a short term need in 1921 to mint silver dollars, but the new Peace Dollar was not ready for production yet. The last Morgan dollar was minted in 1904 and the old dies had been destroyed, so new dies had to be produced. The new 1921 dies are different than the 1904, thus the 1921 Morgan is the first and last year of a coin series so to speak. There were three (3) coins minted in 1921.This 1921-P is number 1 of 3.
