    Nice Morgan!

    I need to find a Peace Dollar with a cheek that clean. No luck so far

    Nice one!

    Very nice Morgan.... Better get it in a Cointain or self slab to protect it. Cheers, RickO

  • I keep my Morgan's in capsules.
    I love them. No sliding in and out of flips.
    I have a few Peace dollars with super clean cheeks.
    They don't come cheap I can promise you that.

    That's really nice looking!

    I like frosty Morgans, but on that date, it's a strange sight. It's unusual to find a 1921 looking like an early 1880's S-minted Morgan. I'd send it off to a grading service to authenticate, maybe get a TrueView to show off that cameo, if possible.

    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    If original that is outstanding for a '21 Morgan.

    Based on the OP’s images in other threads, my guess is that these aren’t particularly accurate representations of the coin’s true appearance.

    Mark what have you got against me?
    What is wrong with the images I've taken in the past?
    Outside of trying to improve on the quality of the images I take?
    What did I ever do to be disrespectful towards you?
    I've taken your advice. I've bowed down to you and never once did I suggest any coin you posted was not what you said it was.

    Im not really sure how to take that
    Could you elaborate?
    I have always taken accurate images of my coins. Here's an image on the fly with no black background or mount to steady my phone.
    Do you still think I am being deceiful?

    You haven’t always posted accurate images, though I’m sure the shortcomings aren’t at all intentional. In fact, the ones you posted above are good examples of what I was referring to. They’re blurry, make the coin look like it might have altered surfaces and that it’s deeply prooflike.

    Looking at additional, more recent pictures you’ve posted, I see that that overall, you have been making good progress. And again, I never thought for a minute that any deception was intended. I apologize if I gave that impression.

    @Watchtower

    I would be glad to take photos of the coin for you for a small fee and shipping both ways. PM me if interested.

    It would certainly allow for better opinions of a potentially very valuable coin to be given.

    @FlyingAl thats a very generous offer. For what would potentially be the finest known 1921 Morgan in existence. The OP should take you up on the offer.

    It has the characteristics of a genuine Morgan.
    If not altered, it is pretty amazing.
    Without seeing it in hand, it is tough to be disparaging beyond that.

  • gumby1234gumby1234 Posts: 5,589 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @braddick Yes it would be amazing. It would be the finest known and worth a LOT of dough. I put a TruView of the finest 1921 65 DCAM Morgan above in this thread.

    @ifthevamzarockin Ive seen other threads by the OP with similar type of Morgans and there is never an update. He seems to forget what he says in his own posts. Like this thread he says he doesn't put his coins in flips. Look at the pics he posted with that very coin in a flip. Something is off with many of his raw coins and/or photos of the coins.

    Edit to add - what are the chances of anyone having a 1921 DCAM super frosty high grade raw coin hanging around? And he's deleted many of the posts to this thread already and replaced them with Thank you

    I don't know if it'd be better than 65DMPL. And could only be PL as mirrors are hard to judge in photos. The pics of the reverse are down, but on the front the spot over the crown will probably keep it from grading higher than 65 IMO. But again, hard to tell from these photos.

    @gumby1234 "Ive seen other threads by the OP with similar type of Morgans and there is never an update."

    Maybe there hasn't been anything to update yet.

    "Something is off with many of his raw coins and/or photos of the coins."

    A little photo practice may be in order, I have noticed his photos improving so I think he is trying.

    We have a newer member here that is just excited learn and to participate here and trying to get their feet wet here on the forum and trying to fit in. Let's cut him a little slack. ;)

    The coin in the flip is the way it came. That is an image of when I purchased it. I do not like coin flips. I used coin capsules.
    The coin is genuine.
    This is a level playing field nobody is better than anyone else.
    What's different is levels of experience.
    I have tried to spend time to learn here.
    I have been honest in my posts and with images.
    Sometimes even at the price of a bit of humility.
    I have never insulted anyone or misrepresented a coin I own.

    I would suggest that too. It looks really nice and PL 21's are tough to find.

    Its not a Cali proof. Ive been down that road as some of you may remember.
    I received lots of good advice at that time and I was able to return the coins for a refund. So I have had experience there.
    Its just a beautiful coin and all I wanted to do was share it.
    I am not concerened with the finest known or its value currently.
    I know what I paid for it and I am good with the cost.
    I bought some other really great coins from the same seller. I mean really nice. Yes there are new treasures to still be found.

    Some of my slabbed coins.
    I can pull out a few more boxes but I think this should be enough.
    Can I fit in now?

  • gumby1234gumby1234 Posts: 5,589 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If those coins in the capsules in those boxes are PL and DMPL why aren't you sending them off to be graded? The ANACS 84CC UDM is an awesome coin.
