The infrequently reeded examples are collector favorites but without a picture of the reeding (the 21 on top of another Morgan dollar for comparison) there's no way to tell if this is an example. The resident expert on 21's is our own SsuperDdave and he should be along shortly to advise. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/04/2013 5:10 pm One of the few true advantages about 1921's is that the vast majority of added-value varieties have naked-eye features that make them easily recognizable. Aside the possible Wide Reed feature mentioned by SeatedNut above, I see nothing extraordinary about this coin. Here's a Wide Reed coin flanked by two normally-reeded examples: Report this Post to the Staff

That said, Infrequently Reeded (that's the technical term used by VAMmers) 1921's don't carry much premium in circulated grades aside the staggeringly rare VAM-44, the only IR with the D2 reverse. This one's a D1 reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
