It is what it is, a very common 1921 VAM-3 Morgan dollar. You could try an acetone bath to see if it improves the look. |

The reason why there are lots of reads and few posts is that this coin is difficult to grade from the screen pictures.
Although a reasonable photograph, it really needs to be sharper to examine it for wear on the high points, such as the breast feathers on the eagle, looking for mint luster in this area. Difficult to see luster at the high points in these pictures, due to patination.
I would really like to examine this coin in hand with a 10x loupe, just as the TPGraders do.
It could be as high as MS63, but I really don't think so, and will join with most other opinions at AU53 to 5.
This coin gives reason as to why I like Blast white MS silver coins in MS++ condition, instead of heavily patinated examples.

No, it's neat but not worth the grading fees. Keep it in a nice flip, looks like au-50 to me.

An extremely common Morgan silver dollar. It has a value of $18-$22. It is most certainly not a coin to be sent to a TPG. |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
