Silver Investing Made Simple

Hello and welcome to Silver Investing Simplified for 2025. You will find useful information on this site if you are just starting out on your silver coin investments or simply want to find out more about buying/selling silver.

Investing in silver isn't confusing if you have the right information. My goal is to provide you with information that can help you with your silver investment decisions. Just keep in mind that only you can decide if investing in silver is right for you. I take no responsibility for whatever silver purchases you decide to make.

Gradually Heading In The Right Direction

After silver's dismal performance in 2023 where the spot price spent all 12 months doing essentially NOTHING, 2024 managed to post a decent and welcome gain. Year end close of $28.86 versus $23.78 for year end 2023 for a 21.49 percentage gain. The high for 2024 was $34.82 (wouldn't that have been a nice year end close) while the low was $22.87. These are unofficial numbers but if not accurate, they are pretty darn close. I think 2025 is going to be a banner year for gold. Lets hope the price of silver goes along for the ride.

In the section below you will find information on a popular silver coin. There will be a different coin featured on an irregular basis and they will include common, relatively inexpensive coins as well as those enjoying a higher rarity and higher price. I hope it helps with your investment decisions.

The 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar

1921 was last year that Morgan dollars were minted for circulation. But these popular silver coins went out with a bang. A total of 656,967,304 Morgan dollars were minted over 28 years (1878 through 1904 and again in 1921) and 1921 accounted for 86,730,000 of that total. Of the five U.S. Mints that produced Morgan dollars, two were no longer in operation by 1921. The Carson City Mint ceased operation in 1893 and the New Orleans Mint ceased operation in 1909.

The Philadelphia Mint led the way in 1921 by producing a whopping 44,690,000 Morgans followed by the San Francisco Mint which added another 21,695,000. Lastly, the Denver Mint produced 20,345,000 with 1921 being the only year you will find the D mint mark on a Morgan Dollar. Despite what some shady dealers would have you believe they are not rare and do not have great value except in very special cases. You should be able to pick up a nice circulated Morgan (containing .7650 ounces of silver unless well worn) for about $35 and some uncirculated Morgans (containing .77344 ounces of silver) for not much more if you shop around.
