Going to throw this out with seller pics & see if anyone wants to take a shot. I'll take my own pictures, of course, when it shows up. 1921 S Morgan in a PCGS 4.8 sample slab - They made 2 versions of these, this is the first with no mint mark identified on the label, the 2nd version had the D or S mint mark on the label. It is, as the label so helpfully states, circulated. A lot of these were also cleaned and/or polished, but not all. Not sure if it can grade from seller pics, but I'll let CCF have a go.

My guess would be mid AU but it's purely guess work from these images. Looking forward to your photos.
Second look before posting I'm having trouble seeing the mint mark. Maybe an artifact of a crappy photo or maybe a recovering filled mint mark?

Man, those are some tough photos to use for grading.
It appears to be somewhere in the mid AU range.
Your better photos will provide us with a greater chance of offering a more substantive opinion.

Low end AU seems correct, it's likely been dipped and the dark spots have returned along with a cloudy surface. Still a desirable collector coin for the slab itself to some.

From what I can see. EF-45, maybe AU-50.

Yup. Bought for the slab, not the coin inside. Almost all of the "circulated" Morgans in these sample slabs were damaged, cleaned, polished, or otherwise altered.

The coin is probably a technical grade AU, but it has real eye appeal issues. All the value beyond "dealer box Morgan dollar price" is in the sample slab. |

There is quite a demand for the SAMPLE holders...
