I am also wondering if it's because these have no patina yet, all the Morgans/Peace take on a patina (not necessarily toning) that has to be acquired over time. Like I posted beforehand I like them, but I'm pretty certain I'll do like I do with limited release ASE, I'll get those but not the regular mint releases. So when the mint releases a reverse proof Morgan or Peace take my money! But other times I'll live vicariously through your purchase. Now to pay these off and go back to the 7070  Edited by hfjacinto

A coin either has luster after minting, or it has not. These 2021 Morgan and Peace dollars have not. There are basically weakly struck, highly polished bullion discs. |

I didn't say "luster", I said Patina, a 100 year old Morgan just has a more appealing look. It could be the milky whiteness of the coin or it could be how some frosting has occurred over the years. While the new ones have the mark free face, it just doesn't look as nice as an older Morgan (toning and all).   Edited by hfjacinto

for those who have gotten a D and A S where did they ship from? Was it from the Western US since they where minted in the West?

Some of my older ASE have the "patina" you speak of, so you may be right that these will acquire patina over time despite being bullion content coins. Edited by EDM

The below is from my bullion ASE, and you can see the Patina I am talking about on the 1995 (1996 is a proof) and the 2000.  Edited by hfjacinto

Sorry I don't have time for really high res pictures right now, but here are some photos of the the Denver and San Francisco Morgan dollars that I just got in the mail a few minutes ago:   [As an aside, could they possibly have made those mint marks any smaller?] Edited by barryg

RPT, I just got the same email. I'll give them a call but it takes days to get through to them. Not sure what the problem is myself as they charged me for them last week.
