What Do You Think of This 1921-D Morgan Dollar with Grease Filled Dies?

numisma

Found this coin in a bag of 1921 Morgan dollars. I know that the value is not much on this type of error, but I have always believed that they are scarcer than the market values indicate. I guess it boils down to a "supply versus demand" scenario; hard to find, yet few people would ever seek to find an example for sale.

I have had other examples that were minor and I didn't keep them, but rather sold them as common. I decided to keep this one because I like how bold the rims are, then the transition into fields with no stars.

What is your opinion of the value? (NOTE: this coin is not for sale)

Found a 1921 Peace dollar just like it once. No one would pay squat for it. Probably a die adjustment piece, however, there is too much detail present for the services to label it as such. Interesting, but I wouldn't pay extra for it.

Not too uncommon, but yours is nice....original skin.

Not much, if any of a premium..to me anyway.

Hard to value, since the market is rather thin for these, as you could imagine. Out of curiosity, are there die cracks that match VAM 1W?

Not VAM-1W, unfortunately.

Thanks to all for your comments. Guess I will just spend this one down at the Piggly Wiggly tonight.

I'm not a Morgan collector but I find it interesting and I'd pay a slight premium for that.

I would certainly keep that one if I found it....I retain all coin oddities...Cheers, RickO

Here is a Heritage die adjustment, looks similar.

Rick and I are separated twins when it comes to weird coin stuff, and me especially with weird Morgan stuff.
