roadmaster6767 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/04/2016 12:09 pm Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have a 1921 Morgan S I'm having problems identifying. It is in fantastic condition with a mirror finish. What confuses me is it is gold gilded in the raised parts of the coin. I can't seem to find any comps on this. Is it a repo? Counterfeit? Thanks in advance for any info on this. Report this Post to the Staff

With such an alteration it keeps the value of this coin in the $18-20 range. It is a curiosity and most collectors would only buy it if it was sold near its intrinsic value (silver value).

roadmaster6767 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/04/2016 3:35 pm Thanks Moxking. That's what I was afraid of. I personally own a scrap metal business with the capability to remove the gold from silver. We do it all the time with jewelry. Is this acceptable to do with this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/04/2016 8:11 pm I see no reason to strip it. You wouldn't get $2 in gold. Just sell it to someone who likes it for $20 and you should both be happy. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/05/2016 3:46 pm I agree. But if you offer it to another person in person you might find someone would be thrilled with it. Report this Post to the Staff
