2021 Morgan Silver Dollar

[jrm53]

Anybody on the forum tried to buy a 2021 Morgan silver dollar from the U S Mint? I tried tonite at 6 PM could not get through, they are a little steep at 85.00 but I guess all the ammo buyers have moved on to the silver dollars, I had them email me if some more turn up. Jeff

Sold out.

Here's one 100 years older.

Last year I bought a 2020 "S" Silver Eagle for $85 that was supposed to be a limited production. 2 weeks after they sold out that said they had decided to continue production of them. They now sell for about $70 on eBay. The 2021 Morgan dollars you are referring to are now on eBay for $175-$225 by dealers. As far as I am concerned. The U.S Mint is nothing but a scam for dealers.

"The U.S Mint is nothing but a scam for dealers."
Yep, was on another forum and the concensus was the same. People were spending hours trying to make a purchase only to have the item sell out before their transaction was completed

Yeah, I'm not really interested unless the year starts with 18...

Find a reputable coin/gold dealer in your area where you can walk in and pay cash.

For what it's worth, an American silver dollar contains .77 troy ounce of silver.

They were apparently sold out by 12:01!

First 2021 Morgan Dollars Sell out in Minutes

I see the ads for those on late night TV on the "off" channels like H&I and Comet. I consider them as useful as the ads for talc lawyers and Phil Swift. I put the Morgan silver dollars in the same class as Mitchell's Mausers. The milsurp folks will get the message.

I am sure you know that people actually collect coins, and they can have intrinsic value that far outweighs the metal content.

A 1913 liberty nickel probably contains about 8 cents of actual nickel.

I totally agree...but I have hundreds of older ones, wanted to own one made from today's technology, thought it would be a cool addition.

Apparently, as they sold 175,000 of them in one minute, I am not the only one!

EloEsq—I thought this was interesting— "The 2021 dollars measure 38.1 millimeters in diameter and contain 0.858 ounces of .999 fine silver. Interestingly, the 99.9% silver is of a higher fineness than the .900 fine cartwheels of the 19th and 20th centuries"

Do they issue these silver dollars each year or is there something special about 2021?

"Limited Production" Limited by how many they can sell.
(Kind of like Winchester's M94 Commemorative of the month)

Don't buy it for an investment . If you think it's cool , then by all means go for it .

I love the Bo-Dollars
I especially love the ones I got for $1!

If you had a 1913 Liberty Head Nickel you probably would be set for life once you sold it.

I don't collect, I accumulate things. Have some silver coins, plus some Morgan's and Peace dollars. I do have four of the 2005 USMC dollars, just seemed like the thing to buy.

Buy the original. You can't go wrong.

Compare the quality and detail of a old coin, designed by human-made engraving on a die, to a modern, computer designed coin. It will make you sick. I gave up collecting coins when I saw my first Eisenhower dollar, then they added insult to injury with the Anthony dollar.

A few years back I would frequently pass a little coin and jewelry shop in town. They were pretty friendly so I would stop in and buy a couple of Morgan silver dollars from the 1920s. Seems like they cost $20 each. That must have been 2018 or 2019 (?)

What's the attraction of buying these new ones at over 4 times the price?
