Best Answer

All Peace dollars have the same design. The difference between the 1921 Peace Dollar and the 1921 Morgan dollar is that Liberty looks completely different. In the more common 1921 Morgan dollar, Liberty wears a crown with the word "LIBERTY" on it, on the reverse of the Morgan dollar, there is an eagle with olive branches and arrows in its talons along with a wreath under it. On the Peace Dollar, Liberty looks like she has rays coming out of her head and on the reverse there is an Eagle sitting on a rock inscribed "PEACE", there is no wreath on the reverse.

How do you know if it is a Morgan?

A Morgan dollar would be dated 1878-1904 or dated 1921. If you've got a silver dollar dated 1878-1904 that does not say "Trade Dollar" on the reverse, you for sure have a Morgan dollar. In practice though trade dollars are infrequently found that date from the era of the Morgan Dollar. The only other possible overlap you have is 1921. The 1921 Morgan dollar is quite common and generally sells for bullion value even in the lowest grade. On the other hand the 1921 Peace Dollar is scarce and commands a large premium over melt value, even in lower grades. The easiest way to tell if you've got a 1921 Morgan vs. a 1921 Peace dollar is to look at the reverse of the coin. If the eagle has its wings outstretched, you've got a Morgan dollar. If the eagle is perched on a rock, you've got a Peace Dollar.


How do you know if you have a Morgan silver dollar?

A Morgan silver dollar is a large dollar coin, on the front there should be a depiction of Lady Liberty's face wearing a small crown saying "LIBERTY" on it the reverse features an eagle with olive branches and arrows and a wreath at the bottom. They were dated 1878 to 1904 and also made in 1921. The only other coin that could be easily confused with a Morgan dollar is a Peace Dollar of which some were also minted in 1921, they have the same size, but the liberty on a Peace dollar looks like there are rays coming out of her head and the reverse of a Peace dollar has an eagle perched on a rock engraved PEACE.

What is the value of a 1921-P US silver dollar?

The "P" mint mark was first used on $1 coins starting in 1979, so a 1921 silver dollar couldn't have that letter - only D or S. In addition Philadelphia struck both Morgan and Peace dollars with that date so it's important to know which one you have. Morgan dollars have an eagle with outstretched wings on the reverse side while Peace dollars have an eagle with folded wings and the word PEACE. There's more information at the Related Questions.

What is the value of a Morgan peace and liberty silver dollar?

Please post a new and rephrased question with more details. Morgan (1878-1904, 1921) and Peace (1921-35) dollars are separate issues, and both of them carry both the word Liberty and a picture of Miss Liberty so technically both types are "Liberty dollars". In any case to determine values you need to know the exact date, how worn each coin is, and whether there is a mint mark on the back. Morgan dollars can have a mint mark above the DO in DOLLAR - blank, S, CC, or O, also D for 1921. Peace dollars may be blank or have a D or S near the word ONE.
