1910S_1C New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted Yesterday 5:36 pm I've owned this NGC MS62 1921 Morgan dollar for some time and have always been baffled by the grade given its spectacular luster, clean fields, and strong overall eye appeal. I pictured myself cracking and resubmitting it to receive a MS64 grade, or even simply submitting it to CAC and getting a gold sticker. Upon closer inspection, I believe that I might have been a fool. As seen in the photographs, the coin exhibits several parallel scratches on the cheek. These scratches are not from a light cleaning, for more appear, facing in every direction (and not in a circular pattern), when the coin is rotated under a light. Rather, I believe that they may be indicative of the slightest bit of circulation--indeed, the coin's luster breaks on that very cheek, which is one of the high points of the design. Feel free to voice your opinions on this specimen. Is it a slider that snuck its way into a 62 holder due to exceptional attributes, or is it truly under-graded?

The scratches on the obverse (I think) would hold it back from a 64. A resubmission might come back a 63? Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5662 Posts	Posted Today 2H 9M ago The nice fields suggest that it's mint state, but MS-62 seems appropriate from the severe scuffing on the cheek. Report this Post to the Staff
