I bought this coin (and a few notes I will also be posting) from the person serving my lunch today. I know it is a common date, but I would like your opinions on grade please.

I would give it a nice strong XF with some attractive "wear cameo".... Pretty coin.

I am no expert, and I hope I am wrong ... But the profile of liberty looks a little funny to me (maybe the pic is angled). So I took a pic of a Morgan 1921 (admit it is web search pic but I compared it to many online) and the profiles look very different to me. Look at the following image and see where I put the pointers in.  On yours the chin looks to be not rounded enough - too pointy. The real one has more of a "snarl" in the front of the lips. The real one has a shorter mouth line. The nose differs. The eye differs (sorry no pointer). I guess this is possible if there are different VAMs - but I do not know enough about them. Any expert care to chime in? |

It is just the pointy chin obverse, which many 1921 Morgan dollars have. Look at 1921's on ebay, you will see many slabbed examples with the same features. |

Whew! I was getting ready to  for getting caught by a counterfeit. I really didn't need the coin, but it seemed like the server really needed the money. As for the condition, I guessed about AU as well.
The better part of the buy is coming next (I know absolutely nothing about paper money.) The first is a crisp Series 1935 F - Silver Certificate and the other is an 1864 Confederate 10 Dollar - Richmond note... I just have to find where to post them

Nice looking. Not much in the way of dings etc.
AU coin. Might make 55. I like it. $30.00 to $35.00 coin.

Thank you all for your votes of confidence in this coin. I am very relieved that I had not been 'taken in' by a counterfeit.
On the other hand, I did buy this coin from the seller (as a favor) with the intention of placing the coin up for auction in the CCF Auction Forum. So, I thought it only proper to let folks know the auction for this coin will end tonight (3/27/2012) at about 2240 EST. Thanks Everyone!
