My mother-in-law gave me a 1921-D Morgan yesterday that had belonged to my father-in-law. I noticed the D was extremely small and with a little research found this is called a 'micro D'. What little I've been able to find hasn't told me though if this necessarily rare or desirable.
Is this just another variety, and not that big of a deal?
TIA

Correct. However, there are a whole lot of other things which might make your 1921-D stand out, and improve the value. Is there any way you could get pictures or scans of the coin posted? This is a coin which is near and dear to my heart, and I'm always interested in working with them.  |

First try at scanning. The obverse came out darker than the actual coin, the reverse is true of both sides on the actual coin.   |

Pretty good scans for a first try. I'm sure Superdave will know anything and everything that is going on with this coin. When comparing it to all of the 1921's he's departing with on ebay, I think this is VAM 8675309 Jenny, where the eagle is holding a Canooter valve.  Sorry Dave, I couldn't resist. Certainly not making fun of your passion... |

Every one of the 20+ million Morgan dollars minted at the Denver mint has the micro D.  Nice scans, I don't see anything that I can see right off the bat that I can attribute. |

:PI'm in agreement with Becky, mathman, and she's a voice to listen to with any Morgan. One quick question, because of something I might or might not see - does the second T in STATES look normal to you? There's a little flash of light in the scan that caught my eye. |

Both T's look the same to me.
Thanks for the info, and if nothing else, for giving me a reason to mess with scanning coins.

Owning a coin is a good reason to mess with scanning coins.  Show me the money! |
