1921 P Morgan

[Hack]

I would like your opinion on a grade for this 1921 Morgan. I could use any feedback on the reason for your grade as I will be listing the coin for sale on Ebay.

I'm going to guess ms62

Id say its either AU58 or MS62. The reason why is because it has many many bag marks.

The images do not allow us to adequately access the surfaces or luster, and this is pivotal in deciphering between AU and MS pieces.

We need better images. The breast feathers, while typically weak on the '21, look "too shiny" as if it was polished. I can't really tell about the obverse. There are luster breaks in the fields that can be clearly discerned.

I listed the coin on Ebay as a AU. The coin has a slight amount of luster left on the cheek, but shows some rub that could be from circulation. The breast feathers and the top of the legs show some wear and this area in the photo is lighter. The leafs below the tail feathers also show some rub and this area is lighter in the photo. The coin does have MS luster.

 

I purchased the coin from a dealer some time ago that sold the coin to me as BU. I was trying to convince myself that the coin was

BU, but I want the next buyer to be happy with the purchase so I will sell the coin as AU. I have feeling that the coin may be what is called a slider.

 

Thank you for the grades and help.

I will work on getting better photos in the future. I just purchased the Mark Goodman book Numismatic Photography.

Thanks for the update. I take it you're going to sell the coin. I like the idea that you'll be giving the potential buyer a fair assessment of the coin.
