After a hiatus of 17 years, the mint, by the provisions of the 1918 Pittman Act had millions of ounces of silver that needed to be made into coinage. In 1921, despite a world wide recession, and low mintages for all other coins, mass quantities of Morgans were struck. Opened in 1906, the Denver mint had never struck silver dollars prior to this, and this represents the ONLY date struck at that mint. Of the 20,000,000 that were struck, there are nearly 33,000 Mint State coins graded by PCGS and NGC combined, but in MS67 or finer, this date drops down to the low double digits with a combined two dozen graded between PCGS and NGC. An intense, blinding luster blooms all over on both sides. Frosty surfaces are aglow with a very strong brilliance and are smooth, free of any distracting marks or lines. We note a few minor ticks, but they are not in the prime focal areas of the design and can be overlooked in light of the outstanding eye appeal and technical quality. PCGS 11, NGC 12. The last non-CAC coin sold in a much weaker market, bringing $11,750 in the 2016 FUN auction. We just sold a CAC approved example, the Coronet-Vanderbilt coin, for $31,725 in our May 2019 Regency Auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $20,000 and with just a single MS67+ graded finer, this is an opportunity of the utmost importance. If you are working on a high ranking PCGS Registry Set, you owe it to yourself to compete for this impressive SUPERB GEM. Do not let this opportunity pass you by! Cert. Number 37662534 PCGS # 007298
