This is one butt-ugly Morgan w/ reverse

Anyone care to take a guess at the grade...

MS68?

Serously I'll say ms-62 or ms-61. Edited to erase comment that now knowing the black toning is really blue is not needed.

In an AGC holder... I wish...

1921's are tough to find with any color/toning. It looks like maybe you slightly tweeked the scan though (looking at the 'color' on the rim of the holder- next to the Morgan).
I'm going to guess MS65.

Is it yours?
(I actually, in some ways, appreciate that original incrusted toning on those. I know. Weird, but it gives the coin personality!)

Yep, just made it. The black toning is actually bluish. I like it too (but it is a ugly coin), and yes Pat it is a MS65.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAActually - this may not be a bad looking coin at all!

MS63/64 is my guess.

I'd much rather own yours than one that is washed out and white.

Nice coin, really!
(PM me if you ever get tired of it-)

There is no such thing as a butt ugly Morgan...only varying degrees of beautiful Morgans

Now if you're talking about Frankies or Kennedys or Sacs...that's a whole different story

BU70?

Yes, Morgans from 21 do tone rather strangely, possibly due to the different treatment of the planchets before striking. My guess is 64 even though I can't see the surfaces. I've got one in an NGC 63 holder with the same kind of mottled toning but a little brighter and more colorful. Interesting coin.
