In another thread I spoke about an experience in a dealer store a week or so ago. Yesterday, while at the store, I was able to buy one of the coins for $25.00. This 1921-S Morgan dollar was so dirty you could barely see anything. I took it home and last night soaked it in acetone for an hour, I rinsed it off and here is what it now looks like. I would like you folks to grade this.   Edited by stampvirgin

Weak strike. 40ish. Could go 45 with some remnant luster.

I was thinking EF 40 at first glance.

Could be AU50 based on 21-s strike quality.(or lack of)

Seriously, my F15 guess was probably a little low, Maybe more like VF, IMHO.. Here is a 1921-S NGC EF45 example: (Thornhead VAM)   Edited by Night-Hawk

Night Hawk, I think your coin is much nicer then mine. I think it is just in the VF range...(my coin) This is the first Morgan I have ever bought. Now I need to find a 1921 Peace dollar. :) Edited by stampvirgin

Nights coin is hammered, that's why it looks so much nicer.

Hammered = Nailed = Well struck... Many of these were not. Look for hammered coins, especially on 1921 High relief Peace dollars. |
