1921 Morgan Silver Dollar — NGC Certified Brilliant Uncirculated — Original Bag Fragment
A classic piece of American silver coinage from the final year of regular Morgan dollar production.
This 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar has been professionally authenticated and encapsulated by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) and is designated BRILLIANT UNC, indicating an uncirculated example.
The NGC certification also identifies the coin with the special ORIGINAL BAG FRAGMENT pedigree, adding an interesting piece of Morgan dollar collecting history to the presentation.
The 1921 Morgan Dollar
The year 1921 is especially significant to Morgan dollar collectors because it marked the return and final year of production of the Morgan dollar series. After production had stopped in 1904, Morgan dollars were struck again in 1921 before the series was replaced by the Peace dollar.
This 1921 Morgan was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and therefore has no mint mark. Philadelphia produced 44,690,000 Morgan dollars in 1921, making it the largest mintage of any Morgan dollar issue. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper and contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounce of silver.

Original Bag Fragment
The Original Bag Fragment designation is an especially interesting feature for collectors.
Morgan dollars were historically stored and transported in large canvas bags. The bag-fragment designation connects this certified coin with that history and adds an unusual collectible element to the NGC presentation.
Rather than simply being an ungraded Morgan dollar, this piece has the added appeal of professional certification and an NGC-recognized bag-fragment pedigree.
Why 1921 Matters
The 1921 Morgan dollar represents the closing chapter of one of America's most famous silver-dollar series.
For collectors, it is a fascinating transition-year coin: the Morgan dollar returned after a long production break, was produced in large quantities, and then gave way to the newly introduced Peace dollar later that same year.
Collector's Note
This coin is NGC certified and professionally encapsulated. The holder identifies the coin as BRILLIANT UNC with the pedigree ORIGINAL BAG FRAGMENT.
The NGC holder and certification are part of the collectible and should be kept with the coin.
A wonderful addition for Morgan dollar collectors, American silver collectors, NGC-certified coin collectors, and anyone interested in the final chapter of the historic Morgan dollar series.
