1921 Morgan

Man, you've got some nice 1921's. This one's a little weaker strike - slight flattening of the talons and incomplete large bottom leaves on the wreath - but still strong. I see it as a good strong 64. Shot in sunlight?

Shot with two Jansjo LED desk lamps and a daylight desk lamp.

I'll try to get up some lighter pictures.

There is a scratch on the right wing that doesn't show up well when looking at it straight on.

Solid 64. Try diffusing the light out of those Jansjo's and see if that helps. Shame about the milk shots.

64. Nice reflective surfaces

I put this in 64 territory as well.

One last try.

This is a different set up with the light diffused through opaque milk bottle plastic.

You caught me Dave.

Yeah, scans. Your hints that there might be a pretty good coin here (posted more for lurking readers than yourself):

1) Mint wash spots. These wear off quickly in circulation, and are a pretty good indicator the coin is Mint State.

2) Details in the talons and along the top edges of the wings indicate a strong strike.

3) Especially on the reverse, "dark" fields shown in a scan indicate pretty darn good luster.

4) You just_don't_see that much detail in 1921 cotton bolls very often.

The coin you presented here in photographs backs up everything the scans hinted at.
