I can't identify any remnants of the date, (even under microscope) however I noticed that the S mintmark looked small and low - too low to be a 1903 micro S. There's not much detail remaining on the coin but I thought the small S and style of the arrow-feathers might fit a 1921. I don't work with the '21s much so I was hoping to get some feedback from someone who does. Thanks as always. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 07/19/2025 10:50 pm I agree with you, it looks like a 1921-S. It has a wide right facing shoulder gap, making it 1901 or later. And the mintmark position is too low for a 1903-S VAM-2 (micro S). The mintmark size and location are consistent with 1921-S. Nice lowball! Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15381 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 06:37 am If this coin can actually be identified by the mint mark as a one year type (1921-S), then PCGS would certify it as PO01. Not that big a deal however as there are currently 31 PCGS PO01 certified for the 1921-S. Still, a nice lowball. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
UnimpossibIe Valued Member United States 343 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 09:18 am @nickelsearcher I was surprised when I saw the population on CoinFacts. Again, I don't work with the 1921 Morgans much but I wouldn't have guessed there would be that many PO01s. Still, the handful that have sold online over the past few years have gone for around $300-400 which I would consider a success (assuming PCGS slabs it). Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 07/21/2025 5:15 pm Definitely 1921 - look at the arrow feathers. They only looked like that on the 1921 reverse dies. And, as said earlier, the small mintmark is also diagnostic. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
