Pcgs Silver Dollar Appraisal

1921 Morgan Silver Dollar (PCGS AU58)

This is a United States Morgan Silver Dollar dated 1921, minted in 90% silver and 10% copper. The coin features the classic design by George T. Morgan, with the profile of Liberty on the obverse wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton, and an eagle with outstretched wings on the reverse (though only the obverse is visible). This specific specimen is house-protected within a professional PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) plastic slab, which serves as a guarantee of authenticity and grade. The label identifies it as grade 'AU58' (About Uncirculated), indicating that while the coin has nearly full mint luster, it shows very slight traces of wear on the highest points of the design, such as Liberty’s cheek and the hair above her ear. The coin's surface exhibits a natural metallic silver patina with some minor bag marks and scuffs consistent with its age and technical grade. The PCGS certification number 42764222 is clearly visible on the label along with the 1921 date, confirming it belongs to the final year of the regular Morgan Dollar series production. The strike appears moderately sharp, and the rim is well-defined with denticles intact, demonstrating the typical craftsmanship of the early 20th-century Philadelphia mint (no mint mark visible near the date).
