Notes:
The 1921-D Silver Dollar is extremely common in all grades up to MS-64 and is readily available even in Gem condition.  In MS-66, the date is scarce; anything better is extremely rare.  Prooflike examples are very rare and Deep Mirror Prooflikes are virtually non-existent.  The finest examples certified by PCGS are 5 MS-67's, 3 MS-65 Prooflikes, and a single MS-64 Deep Mirror Prooflike.

No Proofs are known of this date, which is surprising, considering how accommodating the Mint was to Farran Zerbe when they struck Proofs for him of the P- and S-Mint 1921 Dollars.  Since most of the evidence concerning those coins is hearsay, it is entirely possible that some Proof 1921-D Dollars may have been struck, so keep an eye open for one!
