I understand PCGS offers a re conditioning service. Do you think this 1921 Morgan would be a good Candidate. I’ve looked through several of the videos and topics on the site and trying to get an idea of what type of coin would benefit from a service like re conditioning or professional cleaning.

...that baby is gone...if you try and go Michael Jackson on her you will only make it to about 1988 and then it won’t get any lighter without burning the coin to ultimate death. Good Luck either way and Welcome to the CU boards

No, You can buy one PCGS Certified MS65 for about $105.00. There is no need to conserve that coin

Unless you have a personal sentimental attachment to that particular coin, it would not be worth the money to conserve it. Especially considering you can buy a graded one in MS-64 for under $50 shipped.

No, I am 99% certain that they won't do anything with that Morgan. Matter of fact they would not give it a numerical grade if sent in for grading. It would likely get a details grade and labeled environmental damage.

@Dreverett1 Sell or trade that in for a problem free coin. Too many issues.

Looks like that Morgan was in a leather pouch for a while. I agree with the others, its only worth around $15 in its current condition.

All pretty good answers to your question. Knowledge is a powerful thing when it comes to these kinds of questions, I would recommend some reading material to study up on so in the future you can answer most of these yourself. Pcgs photograde is an excellent example and pcgs coinfacts has numerous tools available for making reasonable buys. Goodluck with your efforts and welcome to the foroum!

By the way - use some pliers to crush those staples down - those will do damage to other coins unless they are flattened.

@Dreverett1 .... Welcome aboard....I agree with the above input...use the money you may have spent for restoration on a new coin... Cheaper and you will have a nice coin. You can either sell that one or put it in an album... Cheers, RickO

Slow down. The fact you even considered sending that coin in for "restoration" tells me you don't know enough about the coin field at this point. Spend your time and money on educating yourself about coins and the coin market, not on coins themselves.

Not unless you know a good kennel near by.
I believe that toning is end stage and referred to as "terminal". It can't get any darker.

I wanted to ask a follow up question regarding this coin. I’m hoping this coin is a good example to discuss. I was reading grading standards etc this afternoon. When a coin is being graded I understand from reading the catalogs and info offered on the site there’s a cartwheel affect when viewing a coin. I decided to take another look at this coin and take some photos at different angles. There’s some pretty nice toning when viewing at different angles. Are these different angles taken into consideration during the grading process? The straight on photo looks completely different than photos taken at the angles. If anything it sure looks pretty cool and neat to share.
