Doc will straighten me out for sure.
Look at the right side of her head. See the tiny scratches going NW/SE.
That's why I say cleaned. Breast feather sseem worn down.
I'm laying my meat on the chopping block. I don't know how to grade.
I thought I'd give it a shot before the experts chimed in.

Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 9:40 pmWaiting for doc but from the pics I say AU (at best) looking at the hair and breast feathers. Then I see the cloudiness around the stars and some letters and know that is the mark of a cleaned coin. This needs to be seen in person.

Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2011 6:04 pmnot to be a smart-alec or anything....but, does the grade really matter for a 1921 Morgan? I figured they were common enough to only be worth melt anyway.

Elephant in the room has been pointed out.
BUT, a good grading exercise is always warranted.
It makes us better, and that’s a good thing.....smarter....stronger......better buyers......join in

Sorry Spence, Just back from fishing trip.
I have you at Au-53 to Au-55. Alot of great luster still on that coin. Better than junk....but not worth a 2x2. This coin needs to find its way into a roll with the lable "Honest AU or better 1921 morgans"
