The 1921-D Morgan dollars are the first of this series to be produced since 1904. It was also the last year this legendary series was struck before the Peace dollar type that premiered later in 1921. Denver-minted 1921 Morgan dollars are common up through the grade of MS65, though they are scarce in MS66 and very rare in MS67 or higher grades. PL are rare in any grade and DMPLs are exceedingly rare.
