1921-S Morgan S$ ANACS AU-55 DETAILS VAM 1BL

Presented here is a significant piece of American numismatic history: a 1921-S Morgan Silver Dollar, graded AU-55 DETAILS by ANACS. The 1921 issue marks the return of the iconic Morgan Dollar after a seventeen-year hiatus, and the 'S' mint mark signifies its production at the San Francisco Mint. While this coin exhibits characteristics of About Uncirculated condition, the 'DETAILS' designation from ANACS indicates that it has encountered some form of environmental or post-minting alteration, such as cleaning or damage, which prevents it from receiving a straight numerical grade. Despite this, its historical significance and rarity, especially as an 'S' mint mark issue from the final year of the series' original run, remain undiminished.

Adding to its collectibility, this particular specimen is identified as VAM 1BL, referring to a specific die variety as cataloged by Leroy C. Van Allen and A. George Mallis. VAM varieties are highly sought after by collectors, offering a fascinating layer of depth to the already popular Morgan Dollar series. The 1921-S is an essential acquisition for any collector building a complete Morgan Dollar set or focusing on significant varieties. ANACS encapsulation ensures authenticity and provides a professional assessment of its condition and variety identification, making it a valuable addition to any discerning numismatist's collection.
