Well, in the $40 range if it is a 64...But I don't think it is
Can you provide pictures of the coin, showing it's mint luster
And a close up near the ear would be nice, because I think I see wear on the hair above it
If I do see wear this coin might be an AU58 instead of MS64
If that is the case than the coin would be worth around $20

I agree even from these pics it looks like wear over her ears , a better picture would help , but there isn't much of a demand for '21 Morgans unless high grades 66 and over . Also I wouldn't put much stock in ANI grades as I've never heard of it .

I agree. I wouldn't trust the grade from that company. Its probably a 20 dollar coin, give or take. Would need some pictures showing the design details better for someone to tell you for sure.

The 1921 Morgan dollars are very common. $40 if it is indeed MS-64 would be about right for it. However, ANI is not one of the more well known third party grading companies like NGC or PCGS. I would need a better picture to confirm that it is MS-64. If there is wear on the coin it is probably worth about $20.

Looking at the larger pics, it does appear to be uncirculated but I don't see any lustre. Without better pics it would be hard to tell what condition it really is. Can you take better pictures with more lighting, preferably sunlight.

That case, will lower value to the coin, unless ANI becomes the top TPG over night...

The case doesn't devalue the coin...however it doesn't help the coin any either. Would the coin be easier to sell if it wasn't in a low tier TPG slab, maybe...but it's worth the same either way. |

If it said PCGS MS64...It would sell higher, than a ANI MS64...
But, it is the same coin, and I would pay no more than the $20 range for it, based on pics

Because it is the coin that is worth the money...not the slab. Now, that said...that coin would never be in a MS64 PCGS holder because ANI over graded it.
That coin is worth what that coin is worth regardless of who slabbed it or what they graded it as.
Point being...the slab doesn't add or detract from the value of the coin. It might make it a little harder (or easier) to sell depending on the slabbing company though. If the OP likes his coin in the ANI slab there is NO reason to crack it out.

If ANI grades it, as 64, and it really is a 64, great! As with PCGS...
No, I guess no reason to crack it outta the holder...But what is ANI? LOL!!
Just kidding..
Yeah, no big reason to...

Yeah, no big reason to... | I understand what you are saying...and for the most part you are right. But, PCGS isn't flawless either. I have seen coins they have overgraded too. You can't just assume a MS64 slabbed PCGS coin is correctly graded either. Now, I have seen many more ANI coins overgraded than PCGS coins. But you can't go by the slab alone, the coin must be inspected no matter who grades it and the coin determines the whole value...not the slab.
