    Pretty!

    (Too pretty to not be highly suspicious)
    When in doubt, don't.

    The fact that it's a '21 Morgan just screams out AT.

    Were it an old S mint or something similar, I'd be suspicious, but it would be needed to be seen in hand before I'd be certain. It's just a little too perfect for almost any Morgan. Not impossible, but very rare indeed. It sure doesn't look right around the perimeter devices.

    In this case, I have to vote authentic AT.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    I recently sold this coin. It's in an NCS slab marked "Artificial Toning"

    It *IS* a pretty coin, for whatever that's worth. PL, too.

    Oh yeah, its the coin. My &*&@#$!!! pictures, too

    I actually walked away from a $200 offer for the coin (from a forum member) because I told him I was unsure about the color. Sold ot on eBay for $55. It'll be interesting to see what he gets for it.

    I see that it isn't only eBay that has slimeball sellers.

    No chance that is natural toning. 1921 Morgans do not come like that EVER. Here is a thread on toned 1921 Morgans (P,D, and S), including pictures of the most colorfully (naturally) toned gem 1921 known to toned dollar specialists.

    Looks like a nice 63 or 64 with some AT on top of it.

    if you click on the Yahoo link, just check his feedback (showing his old auctions, lots of toned crapola)

    Hey Sunnywood, that was a great post on the 21 Morgans. That is one nice group of toners. Thanks for sharing the link.

    $62 with 90 minutes left

    I don't think I have seen many Yahoo auctions end higher than eBay that did not start high

    but I guess seller did forget to disclose what NGC/NCS thought

    I'm sure that's helping his price some. But since he has to get past $65 before he makes money on this coin (he bought it for $55+$5 shipping plus what I guess is about $5 in Yahoo fees), I'm guessing he won't make a lot of money on this coin. Probably nowhere near what he expected to make.

    Let it go. Learn to enjoy bright white Morgans, and you will no longer have to wrestle with this dilema anymore.
  • lsicalsica Posts: 1,623 ✭✭✭✭
    Closed at $62. Looks like he didn't make any money on it
