New 1921PL purchase I added some more images

Morgan13

I bought this at a local coin store a while ago. I brought some coins in to sell and trade and ended up with it.
Im glad I was there at the right time before someone else got it.
I took it out today just to have a glimpse.
I figured while I had it out I would take some images and post it.
This coin is a beauty!

If as imaged, no doubt a beauty.

Looks strongly PL. Nice grab.

Its exactly as imaged.
I take honest photos.
Id only be fooling myself and my fellow collectors.
I have no interest in anything else.

No offense intended. I would buy that coin all day long.

Very nice! I've never found a PL '21 in the wild.

No offense taken.
I just want to show the beauty of the coin.
If you look at it closely you can tell the images are not cooked.
The strike, cameo and clean fields are beautiful. Even the rims are clean.
This coin must have been minted with fresh dies.
They were pumping out 1921 Morgans like crazy so finding one like this is not easy.

You just never know what you'll find. Right place at the right time for me.

What are your thoughts? 64/65 PL?

I think thats in the ballpark. As far as grade goes thats one thing. Its important.
For me its about the eye appeal.
I just like everything about this coin.
My search for a 1921 Morgan DMPL would be awesome to find in the wild.
If this coin only had deeper mirrors.
Im dreaming out loud.

Excellent coin. While not a Zerbe, any 1921-PDS prooflike is a very difficult find.

I wish it were a Zerbe.
Ive seen a few of them. They are not all that impressive for what they sell for.
The Chapman proof is the real deal.

For comparison just for the heck of it. All images were taken in the same spot under the same sunlight. CAC approved. When you look at the NGC alone it is a beautiful PL coin.
The raw coin literally glows.

Morgan13

Just posting this for the heck of it. Im having fun responding to my own thread!
This coin has a full strike and it also glows. Pretty rare to see a 1921D so frosty and with nice cameo contrast.
The mintmark is tiny.

Morgan13

I believe this 1921 Morgan has the perfect strike for its year and P mint.
Pretty rare for this date. Im always on the lookout for them.

What shop?

Morgan13

Bruce I dont want to ignore your question.
I usually try to hit 2 or 3 coin shops when I have the time. Some shops are better than others.
Those guys have some really nice stuff in their safes. Getting them to part with safe coins as I call them is always challenging.
Some of these guys never go to shows they operate right from their shops.
If they are in a good mood or need money they will offer some of their good stuff.
Some day we should take a ride together I will take you to some shops and maybe grab lunch.
