The following is a description of the various types of issues the Mint will be releasing, starting from 24.05.2021:
Morgans with “CC” and “O” Privy Marks:
The first coins to commemorate this anniversary are the 2021 Morgan silver dollars with “CC” and “O” privy marks. The coins bear an Uncirculated finish and are composed of 0.858 troy ounces of .999 fine silver.
About the issues with their distinctive privy marks:
Historically, the Morgan Dollar was struck at three United States Mint facilities that still are operational and two that are not.
Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco will strike 2021 Morgan dollar tribute coins with either no mint mark (for Philadelphia) or a “D” (Denver) or “S” (San Francisco) mint mark. To represent the vintage Morgan dollars struck in Carson City and New Orleans, the Philadelphia Mint will produce 2021 tribute coins with “CC” and “O” privy mark.
These privy marks are placed within the coin design similarly to the original mint marks from those mint facilities — on the reverse, below the laurel ribbon. The privy marks consist of a tiny medallion inset with the letters “CC” or “O.”
Each coin will be packaged in an elegant black box, with a beautiful outer sleeve adorned with an image of the coin obverse and will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
The Obverse of the Silver Coins features a representation of Liberty in profile. A cap, flora, and a crown incused with the word “LIBERTY” adorn her head, while 13 stars, “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the date of issuance encircle the primary design.
The Reverse of the Silver Coins depicts an eagle with outstretched wings clasping arrows and an olive branch, accompanied by a wreath.
On this face, the inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “ONE DOLLAR.” The reverse also features a “CC” (or “O”) privy mark, in recognition of the historic Mint facility located in Carson City, NV (or New Orleans, LA), where some of the original Morgan dollars were minted.
Morgans with “D” and “S” Mint Marks:
Beginning 01.06.2021, is the release of the 2021 Morgan silver dollars with “D” and “S” mint marks. As with the privy mark 2021 Morgans, these silver dollars are composed of 0.858 troy ounces of .999 fine silver and bear an Uncirculated finish.
The primary distinction to be drawn with these issues is that either a “D” mint mark from the Denver Mint or an “S” mint mark from the San Francisco Mint can be seen where the privy marks were visible on the reverse of the previously mentioned issues. Otherwise, the obverse and reverse designs are the same as the privy mark silver dollars.
Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars:
The 2021 Morgan and Peace silver dollars that will be released starting on 07.06.2021.
While the 2021 Morgan Silver Dollar features the same Obverse and Reverse designs, Composition, and Finish as the previous issues, it does not bear a privy or mint mark upon the reverse, as it is minted at the Philadelphia Mint.
The 2021 Peace Silver Dollar also will not feature a mint or privy mark, being minted at the Philadelphia Mint as well, and will commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the striking of the first Peace Dollar. As with the new Morgans, the 2021 Peace Silver Dollar contains 0.858 troy ounces of .999 fine silver and bears an Uncirculated finish.
The design of the Obverse and Reverse are:
The Obverse of the Coins features Liberty in profile, a radiant crown on her head. Obverse inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year of issuance.
The Reverse of the Coins depicts an eagle at rest holding an olive branch above the inscription “PEACE.” Additional inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
