There are two different types of 1921 silver dollars. The 1st type is the Morgan Dollar that has the bust of liberty on the obverse and an eagle with exposed wings on the opposite. The mint label is on the reverse below the wreath. In circulated grades they are worth $11-$13. With the D or S being worth a fiddling more. The other 1921 is the peace dollar, the liberty coin has rays on the head and the eagle on the reverse has closed wings. This one is scarce and is worth $100 and up. Values are about what dealers pay. (http://answers.yahoo.com)

Silver-mining interests did miss the dollar, though, and lobbied Congress forcefully for its return. The Comstock Lode in Nevada was yielding huge quantities of silver, with ore worth $36 billion being extracted annually. After several ineffectual attempts, the silver forces in Congress led by Representative Richard (”Silver Dick”) Bland of Missouri finally succeeded in winning mandate for a new silver dollar when Congress passed the Bland-Allison Act on February 28, 1878. This Act needed the Treasury to purchase at marketplace levels between two billion and four billion troy weight ounces of silver bullion every month to be coined into dollars. This amounted to a massive subsidy, coming at a time when the dollars face value exceeded its intrinsic worth by nearly 10%. (http://www.coinsite.com)
