Uncirculated: To reach 'uncirculated' condition all original, as minted detail must remain. None has been removed due to wear. OK are nicks and abrasions from contact with other coins, this is normal due to the minting and storage process of silver dollars. Confirming the uncirculated grade is mint luster remaining on the entire surface, including her chin, neck line and hair below and above the ear. These areas are the first to wear and exhibit a dull and smooth texture once in circulation.

Extremely Fine: Once silver dollars begin to show slight wear their condition is graded as 'extremely fine.'

Turning to the reverse, the leaves in the wreath are now very flat, most feathers in the eagle's neck have merged and the very tip of the wings lack any detail.

Good: Noticeable, heavy wear has reduced the entire design to just a few elements. A silver dollar with extensive wear is designated as 'good' condition. Wear has removed most detail leaving Liberty as an outline in low relief. Remaining are a few and now flattened hair curls showing behind her neck and ear.

Morgan Dollar Design

1921 Peace Dollar Pcgs Ms65

Named for its designer, George T. Morgan, the Morgan’s design is usually of Lady Liberty on the obverse and the American eagle on the reverse. Morgan’s Lady Liberty portrait was based on the profile of Anna Willess Williams. Williams, a school teacher, was described by Morgan as having had a near perfect profile and was considered excellent inspiration for the Lady Liberty design. It was also very serendipitous that Williams was from the epitome of American cities, Philadelphia. On the other hand, Morgan was a British-born engraver who was originally employed by the British Royal Mint. He later came to design and engrave for the u.s. mint because of a want for new and fresh designs.

Despite the want for new coin designs, the Morgan dollar has a surprisingly steady history of design. The Morgan underwent very few changes in the thirty-seven years that it was minted. The only real change was the change in master dies after the Pittman Act. The Pittman Act left the thought of any new Morgan dollars obsolete, so the original master die was destroyed. A new die had to be made for the production of the 1921 Morgans.

De Francisci’s original design pictured a broken sword and olive branch on the reverse. However, there was controversy over this design. Many saw the broken sword as symbolic of a loss, not peace. While de Francisci defended his original design, the American public demanded a change and the reverse design was changed to a perched bald eagle.
