AmyRM New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 11/02/2020 01:42 am I have 2 (1921 & 1921-D) Morgan silver dollars. The silver one has very fine details. Question: Why do they differ in colors? Also does anyone know if the coin with fine details would be worth much? Thanks for any help! Report this Post to the Staff

The top one has a typical well circulated appearance. I agree with Grape that they are not worth much more than melt value.

The top one was in circulation, used for commerce and being handled for years. The bottom one was tucked away somewhere and protected for just as many years. The bottom one also looks like it has original mint luster, the way it looked when it first left the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
