    All I can say is it looks like a way to move sliders that would never grade over AU for more than melt.

    IDK specifically, but would guess, that someone submitted a mass quantity of these Morgans and paid a lesser fee for the General Brilliant Uncirculated Label, instead of a specific grade,(ie AU 58, MS 61, etc.)

    Maybe someone really knows can answer.

    Looks like something "Special" done for the TV hucksters or some others.
    On the TV infomercial coin shows, you will see, at times, slabs similar to this with the BU listed instead of a grade.
    Also, some of the magazine sales will do this type of thing.

    I believe they send in buckets and buckets and just get them with the generic label. May be a slider, may be 60, may be 63. Not a lot of spread on most of them (by date/mm) so they use them for advertising purposes and get a lower grading fee since they really aren't being "graded"

    It isn't a slider. It's a blazing BU coin with nice fields. Please send me all your comparable Morgans for Melt + 6%

    This appears to be the type holder/insert provided to mass market promoters who were likely to have sold these at a minimum of 100% above what the wholesale market value would have been at the time they were sold. The only saving grace of the OP's coin is that it may be a better value variety of the '21-D. This one was probably peddled via QVC, or ValueVision, maybe even The Coin Vault.

    Looks like a 63+/64.
    What's the deal with the gloves? lol

    All my Morgans are long gone and many of those Everyman coins looked like 63's in images.

    Suspect this one has the same origin, slabbed to give it a little cache.

    Yes, appears to be a promotional slabbing... though that coin looks (from those pictures) to be a bit better than usually seen in such programs... such as the one posted later. Cheers, RickO

    I'm all in on 21-D slider Morgans at melt!

    Would that count as a sample slab?
