IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I'll go with MS-63. Also, is that a smudge, on the reverse?

Looks like a scrape on the plastic.

The plastic is hindering the grading.

Is there a way to distinguish a business strike from the proof strike for that year? John1  |

Rare to see a 21 that nice. Technically 63, assuming there's nothing under that plastic damage, but since it's a 21 I'd go up to 64. Possibly PL too. Great coin.

Plastic is definitely not doing this coin any favors. MS-64PL

agree with better than average strike. reverse looks normal. breast is a little flat which is more a typical strike. out of focus obv photo. don't like the reverse photo through the holder. who knows what this coin looks like out of the holder.
MS63 maybe 64PL without better photos. I'm assuming all these morgans are not owned by you to be able to give us better photos.'
if the coin grades straight and pulls a PL designation than its a great buy at 63 and even a good buy at 62. if it details or doesn't get PL then not so much.

63
PL is extremely scarce for 1921's. I do not think this coin has full cameo to qualify (looks like the contrast has been bumped.)

Reverse definitely looks PL, hard to say with the obverse photo. In any event, this is a better than average '21. Looking forward to your photos when she arrives. Is it in a TPG slab or a generic? It needs a plastic polishing either way. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae
