I dont know much about what to look for etc, so hoping for your thoughts. This the first. Is it PL? Realize photograph quality is important, if these aren't good photos I will try again. There will be a second coin in a separate thread Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 07/11/2021 10:24 am PL 1921 Morgans are very uncommon. Yours shows some signs of cleaning, which may make the surfaces more reflective. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 07/11/2021 10:59 am As noted above from photos, the coin does not appear to be PL. Mirror depth is difficult to pick up from photo when trying to determine if a coin is PL. A proof like coin needs 2" to 4" of mirror clarity. On a PL, the frost on devices is not a written requirement but the contrast between devices and fields does helps get the coin graded PL. From photo a PL coin can be shown with black fields and contrast devices. Below is a photo of how a coin can be shown that it is PL: Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/11/2021 12:16 pm Again I am in the same boat as on the Denver 1921 you posted, not PL and not even mint state. I'd grade this coin at EF45 to AU53. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
