Should have the same brilliant finish as the 1921 originals, below.

The United State Mint unveiled designs for the 2021 Morgan and Peace centennial silver dollars. They also revealed where they will be made and how many mint and privy marks will be used.
Authorized under Public Law 116-286, the 1921 Silver Dollar Coin Anniversary Act, the U.S. Mint will strike the silver dollars in recognition of the 100th anniversary in 2021 of the production transition from Morgan dollars to Peace dollars.
Mint staff were able to develop the 2021 designs by scanning old assets, including Morgan and Peace dollars, hubs, plasters, and galvanos. The finest scanned components were digitally mapped and pieced together to create the design renditions.
Coin inscriptions will match the older, iconic dollars with an exception of the year of minting.
The Mint’s intent is to use the .999 fine silver planchets that they strike for commemorative dollars as those will produce coins to the same weight, thickness and diameter of the original dollars.

Will the mint price float with the price of Silver?
Bet they sell out fast when they go on sale. A few years ago, the mint did a restrike of the Mercury dime in gold (1/10th oz) It sold out in about 3 hours. They eventually did another run.
How does one buy these? Where?
damn, that one looks beat... wth?
The U.S. Mint has a website you order from.
These things will float with the price but will inevitably carry a collector premium.
Through the US Mint.
Will I even have a chance or will the big dealers buy them out?
Not much of one, though.
Commemoratives from the mint don’t usually have much premium. Unless they are very low mintage and thus, not very plentiful. They’re a “dime a dozen”. ;-)
I have a ‘22 in G condition I keep in a ‘booty bag’ of loose silver, stored in a pirate’s chest. A lot of others I keep in Whitman folders.
Dealers will likely get some, but these sets are not real big collector items as a rule. I mean, true numismatists, not simply hoarders. More likely regular people get them.
P.S. They sell it in 1 and 15/16", and 3" sizes.
Didn’t see them listed. Either haven’t made them or they’re sold out.
Yes, you will be able to get them.
While the mint sells eagle boxes only to wholesalers the proof and commemorative stuff are sold on their website and may have limits per order.
You will pay hefty premiums that you are unlikely to get back.
My late husband would jump on those.
