1921- D Morgan, Should I Have It Slabbed?

I cant grade well enough but youd have to get at least a 63 for it to be worth it and really you would want a 64 or better if youre doing it just for money.

If you collect slabbed and like them that way ect though go for it. But again may be able to get one cheaper just buying a new one depending on the grade

I don't think it would be cost efficient to do so. It looks like a common morgan, unless it is a rare VAM, and some would consider it melt worthy. I think you could find a slabbed 21 morgan in better condition for a price less than it would cost to have it slabbed.

It's a Denver coin, one of the ones stamped with a very small mint mark. Look closely.

Not worth more than melt value, though - it'd cost more than the coin is worth to slab it once shipping and insurance are considered.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated. I need buy a loop to check out all of the others closely. I've checked out the Wiki for Vams and will take another look once I get a loupe.

To many people spend more on slabbing than the coins are worth. It's becoming a thing to do for many. Use the money to buy more coins.

we are happy to help, I know when I first started collecting I wish I knew there were forums like this to save me time and money because it wasn't long after I started collecting I joined NGC and submitted some coins I just knew had to be the best looking coins the graders have ever had the privilege of holding. Needless to say I realized quickly that I needed to do some studying and if I was wanting to concentrate on a certain grade level I needed to buy only slabbed examples until I got better at grading myself. Then I would have never guessed there were forums that were all about coin collecting. At that time I was writing binary code for a community of "pirates" to get access cards to do something they weren't supposed to do on mIRC (and teaching others how to write their own) and that was basically all I did on my computer except for the occasional Instant Messaging on AOL (who am I kidding, I did allot of that with my super fast 33.6 kbit modem on dial up access) until I started collecting coins heavily

The Guide Books are a much better alternative. Not to say the Red Book is not useful but since the prices are outdated, a book that is dedicated to one series is much more useful. I have the Morgan one and its got tons of information and history in it.

I also agree with others on not sending the coin in for grading.

What I've found interesting in the Guide book for Franklins and Kennedys is the fact that the author and some of his clients resubmit the slabbed coins and they can come back with a higher grading. So where one coin was worth about 5,000, it jumped to 25,000 after resubmission.
