Of course if you can upload the image to the internet and provide a link we could see the coin.
Of course, if it's in your Registry Set then use that as the host [if it's under 100k]

Wow...prices...
MS prices on the 1921's
MS-64....$402K
MS-65....$805K
MS-66....$1.1M (1982...$41K)
That's a big difference for someones opinion?
It may be worth more in the green label holder as it leaves everyone guessing.....I have been told by more than one person it IS a MS65 on a given day.....The problem is they couldn't tell me which day.....Of course to ME, it is as nice as I will ever own....

Maybe, maybe not.....Many of the "crackout" guys were NOT present at the sale and there were many reasonable purchases made by those present.....Its not like there wasn't competition for the coins.....I bid on all three but was outbid on the first two.....After Pinnacle and Legend were done, there were no dealers bidding at all as there was so much to choose from at the sale....

As a collector, that would concern me greatly.
I can assure you that if Laura thought the coin had a chance of going up that you wouldn't have been able to purchase it at that level.
What can I say but that I liked the 64 every bit as much as the 65 that was available.....Unbeknownst to me, however, the OTHER MS65 traded hands privately shortly after the auction at similar levels and THAT one was substantially nicer....
I am perfectly content with my coin and will probably just leave it as is until I regrade the whole set.....

I have a 1921 $20 Saint story. Many years ago when I was with ANACS in Colorado Springs, a family came into headquarters with a coin they wanted looked at. There was a woman in her 60s, her son and daughter-in-law and a few grandkids.
The woman said that when she was born in 1921, her uncle, who was the Superintendent of the Philadelphia Mint, gave her a 1921 $20 gold piece. She mentioned a name, whom I later looked up, and he was indeed Superintendent in 1921.
I'm sitting there thinking this must be the Gem of all 1921s, as she slowly unwraps it from some tissue paper. Then she hands me the coin, and my jaw bounces off my left shoelace. That coin had been polished religiously at least once a fortnight for the past 60 years. It was maybe EF, but boy did it shine! Gawd, was I sick.

There is always the story of the polished coin.....Its really sad, isn't it?

Anything higher than that is out of our league so we collectors do root for it to stay as an MS-64!
Hopefully you can appreciate our perspective!
