Needs to be taken out of it's prison to be photographed properly for grading.
If it is an honest coin, it shouldn't threaten you too much.

MS61/62 grade for me, too many little scuffs and marks I can see.

I am thinking it is around a MS-62/63.

Tremendous strike for a 1921 - they don't get much better than this. No less than 63 and possibly 64. The marks behind the lips seem to be the only true distractions, and the fields are quite nice. I might change my mind a bit with larger images, but I don't see going below 63.

Awesome thx for the input folks, I'm trying to get the hang of grading so this helps a lot.

Some marks near the lips and in the field will probably keep this at the technical grade of MS63. The strike, however, is outstanding, and the coin should command a premium.

What is ANACS smoking? Unless the luster is awful, I can't see why that would get a 62.

Probably a small scratch near the date, a mark below the neck / hair, and another mark above 'trust'. There a lot of '21 Morgans out there, and the TPG'ers have seen a lot of them. They shouldn't be in competition with each other, but I suspect that is what the TPG'ers do with them. I feel ryanklaus has a slightly better coin, and so on this basis, MS63. Perhaps you should dissmiss my opinion, because it has been bounced of an already known TPG opinion. That's cheating a tiny bit. I am not all that keen on grading a coin that has been photographed through hard plastic, because the plastic can carry minor scratches. |
