Southern Yankee Pillar of the Community United States 891 Posts	Posted 09/06/2006 7:53 pm I'm thinking ms64. The cheek seems a little messy to me. The fields look pretty clean. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/06/2006 9:16 pm I am thinking 64 also of course its hard to tell anything much higher from pictures Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 09/06/2006 10:07 pm Let's see...hmmmmm...a few dings in her cap, bag marks or wear on her cheek and breast feathers (probably bag marks), good rims and very nice luster. MS64 I wonder if NGC will be a little tougher on her because she's a 1921. Beautiful Morgan Christina! Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 09/07/2006 12:52 am I be thinking they probably nailed you for the cheek marks and I will say MS63 but if it were not for the hits on the cheek,this would be a MS65 coin.Beautiful coin,Christina. Report this Post to the Staff

Picture grading is especially hard for me. I'll change my guess to MS62 then... Glyth, what made you guess XF45 initially? Just curious... 1921 Morgans use entirely different dies than the previous years. I'm sure Glyth saw the weak hair, and what looks like wear on the eagle's breast, and came to the obvious conclusion. Having been thru 100 hozillion 1921's, I see a pretty good strike and an obvious MS coin. If you can see lines at all in the largest bottom wreath leaves on a 1921, it's a good strike. MS64 because of the cheek, a shame because the reverse is crowding 66. That's the Way of the Morgan, though. Report this Post to the Staff
scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 09/07/2006 3:44 pm Nice coin ChristineM, and excellent photographing, tell us how you did it. I see an Morgan with better than average strike for a 1921 with velvety Fields, the reverse is as usual with Morgans just gorgeous, and better than the obverse. with the bagmarks and chatter on the cheeks I would Say Ms-64. to-bad you couldn't do a split grade on this one because the reverse would pick it up a point or two. I can see were the cartwheel was in the photograph when you took it. Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 09/07/2006 8:27 pm Did you take the pic directly above or at a slight angle to pick up the cartwheel? Report this Post to the Staff
ChristinaM Pillar of the Community United States 547 Posts	Posted 09/08/2006 6:06 pm You guys are good! It did come back a 64..I wasn't expecting more than a 63 due to the cheek. As for the pics, I take the pic directly above the coin and I try to use just sunlight whenever possible (no lamps, etc.) I then use Microsoft Picture to crop and set it to the size that I want.
