A Centennial Celebration of Morgan and Peace Dollars

Along with the entire numismatic world, NGC is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the last Morgan Dollar and the first Peace Dollar. The 1921 issues of these coins are significant not only because they mark an important transition for the American silver dollar but also for the country — from a wild frontier to world power. With the US Mint’s release of 2021 Morgan and Peace Dollars, collectors have the extraordinary opportunity to fall in love with these iconic coins all over again.

Morgan Dollar

(1878-1904, 1921)
More than any other coin, the Morgan Dollar evokes the Old West and the frontier expansion of the 19th century. Today, the coin of prospectors and pioneers is among the most prominent and beloved American series.

Peace Dollar

(1921-1928, 1934-35)
Youthful and serene, the Liberty of the Peace Dollar symbolizes America’s modernization in the 20th century in addition to commemorating the end of World War I — a coin and a country looking toward the future.
