NGC Special Labels and Designations for the 2023 Morgan and Peace Dollars
Posted on 6/1/2023
A storied coin of the Old West, the Morgan Dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. The Peace Dollar, minted from 1921 to 1935, was a symbol of America’s modernization in the 20th century in addition to commemorating the peace achieved after World War I.
After the US Mint retired the famous Morgan Dollar in 1921, the Peace Dollar was introduced. In 2021, to recognize the 100th anniversary of this significant transition, the US Mint released a new series of Morgan and Peace Dollars.
This summer, the US Mint will continue this successful program with the 2023 Morgan and Peace Dollars. To celebrate these coins, Numismatic Guaranty Company® (NGC®) is offering special labels and designations that enhance the coins and mark the occasion of their release.

The production of both the 2021 and 2023 Morgan and Peace Dollars was authorized by the 1921 Silver Dollar Coin Anniversary Act. The initiative to pass the act was boldly led by Thomas J. Uram, retired Chairman of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC), who signs certification labels exclusively for NGC. 2023 Morgan and Peace Dollars certified with the NGC Thomas J. Uram Signature Label will be available through select retailers.
NGC has graded more than 5 million Morgan and Peace Dollars, including more than 185,000 examples of the 2021 Morgan Dollar and more than 35,000 examples of the 2021 Peace Dollar. The 2023 mintage limits and tentative dates when the coins will be available for purchase through the US Mint are:
