I Agree albiet HEAVILY Cleaned - I cleaned up the reverse picture

I agree with the cleaning but I really I just don't like the looks of this coin. Looks to have too many colors to hide issues under. JMO

[lkenefic]

Agreed.... also, a 1921-D isn't that tough of a date to pick up nice

I would pass, funkadelic baby!

[DJCoinz]

There are much nicer ones available. Pass.

Not nearly a "BU" coin. It's only worth melt, to me.

That's where I tend to agree. No one had bid on the coin yet, and the starting price was $9.99 with $4.99 for shipping. Personally, with silver at about $16.50 per ounce, if I could get a Morgan, cleaned or otherwise, for $15? You could probably do worse. Not much for the numismatic value, but I can think of all sorts of uses:

 

1. Melt/intrinsic

2. A gift to a young collector to see something different

3. A "gift with purchase" item to a customer if you sell coins on eBay yourself. Hey, it may be cleaned, but it's a lot of silver, which isn't cheap nowadays, and appears to continue to be on the rise!

 

That's just off the top of my head, I bet smart cookies could think of plenty of things to do with it.

 

Would I pay the "Buy it Now" price? Not a chance. Would I go much past the $9.99 initial start? Probably not. Maybe $10.51 to give myself a chance to counter a second bid, but that's about it.
