How much is a 1921 dollar coin with a d on th back worth?

Answer 1

Right now it is worth about $25 just for the silver it contains. If it shows any significant wear, that's about all you can get for it, but in the highest grades it can be worth several hundred if it has no mint mark or a 'D' mint mark and possibly $2500 or more with an 'S' mintmark.

If you have a large (38 mm) silver dollar, 1922 is the most common date for Peace Dollars. The mint mark in on the tail side below the word ONE. The number of coins minted for your coin year is 51,737,000. PLEASE do not polish it. This will reduce the value greatly.

The value of a 1922 Peace Dollar is based upon the fact of the "Relief", which is the extent to which the image on the coin is raised above the background.

A Normal relief coin (the most common variety) will be priced between $17.00 and $175.00 according to wear. A mint state or proof coin can bring as much as $60,000.00.

A high relief coin that shows little wear will appraise at $2,500.00 while a near perfect condition specimen will be at $50,000.00-$75,000.00. Remember that this is for a "High Relief" Peace Dollar.

If you have a small gold dollar, it is a commemorative Grant Memorial Dollar. There are varieties with and without a star over Grant's name which makes a difference in the price for some grades. Even if it shows a bit of wear, it is listed at $1500. $1800 if uncirculated, and if certified as MS-65. In MS-67, with the star it lists at $5500 and without it at $8000.

In God We Trvst

Many people wonder about the "Trvst" spelling on the motto.

TRVST is the normal spelling for all Peace Dollars (as well as other coins from that time period). It is NOT an error.

The use of V for U was an affectation of the time period, when designers were very fond of old Roman styles. The Latin alphabet did not have a separate letter for U; V served as a consonant, vowel, AND a number (!) You had to tell the uses apart by context. The say was true for the letter I, which also served as the consonant that we call J. The letters U and J were not commonly used until the Middle Ages.

Answer 2

The U.S. has never used an M mint mark. You're looking at the monogram of the designer, G. T. Morgan - the reason these are normally called Morgan dollars.

See the Related Question for more information.

Answer 3

Assuming it is the older Morgan design (i.e. it does NOT have the word "Peace" on the reverse) your coin is worth between $14 and $16 depending on condition. The "S" indicates it was struck at the San Francisco mint.

Answer 4

If the coin has the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM above Liberty's Head it's a Morgan dollar and the value is $23.00-$26.00 for a circulated coin. If the coin has the word Liberty above her head it's a Peace dollar and the value for a circulated coins $80.00-$175.00

Both coins are dated 1921

Answer 5

Please compare the orientation of the coin's reverse with other U.S. coins. Nearly all U.S. coins have the back oriented 180 degrees off the front. That is, if you flip the coin like the page of a book, the back will be upside down with respect to the front. Some other countries' coins are minted so the front and back point the same way, and there is a lot of confusion about supposed "errors". The fact is that neither one is an error, they're just different minting styles.

If your dollar is as described, then it's a normal U.S. coin worth about $14.

On the other hand, if your dollar does have the front and back pointing the same way, it's a rotated die error that could be worth a lot more. But remember, compare its orientation to other coins from your pocket change before making a quick judgment.

Answer 6

This depends on a few things. How good of shape the coin is in. Take the coin to a coin collector for an appraisal.

Answer 7

$22 to $40,000 depending upon the mint mark and the condition of the coin.

Answer 8

The US Mint produced many different coins in 1921. In order to give any value the denomination of the coin must be known.

Answer 9

Nothing, because there is no such coin.
