Sandon Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 As you can see, the NGC staff will not answer questions of this sort but will simply reply with a stock answer telling you to submit the coin, which will likely cause you to waste a great deal of money. The photos of your coin do not suggest that it has a mirror proof surface. It appears to have normal frosty luster, an ordinary strike and a beveled edge, as opposed to the mirror fields, very sharp strike and squarer edge of the Chapman proof Remember that Chapman proofs, of which ten to fifteen are thought to have been made, though possibly a few more, as opposed to 44,690,000 regular 1921 Morgan dollars, were sold to numismatists of that era and are highly unlikely to simply "turn up" among ordinary coins. See https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1921-1-chapman/7342. There is a tentative attribution guide to these coins at http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1921-P_PROOF to which I would compare your coin before entertaining any notion of submitting it to a grading service. I would also try to show it to one or more numismatists who are familiar with authenticated examples. Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Highly unlikely, but much better photos or an in hand review would be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Meenderink Posted yesterday at 03:13 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:13 AM Absolutely not. Your coins details and strike are not even close to the Chapman proof. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
