I believe I have a broadstrike 1921 s Morgan dollar. I've downloaded digital pictures of the obverse and reverse but I can't figure out how to send a portait to you. Anyway, When I place the coin on a stack of other Morgans, about 1/3 of this coin is about 1/16" larger around. It appears to be skinnier and has no edge marks except for in two spots. At these 2 spots, there are faint edge marks pressed into the very corner of the edge. Please let me know if this coin is in fact a broadstrike. Thank you, Danny
to CoinTalk. I think Charlie has hit the nail on the head. A "broadstrike" is generally considered an out-of-collar strike, and will have a much greater spread than your coin shows. Your pictures look more like a strike with about two-thirds of the collar in position.
Thank you guys for replying. I'll do my best to get a photo of the edge again this evening. This looks like a nice site and I plan on visiting more. I got broke a few years ago and sold all of my collections. I'm not rich yet but I'm back! I've bought lots of coins in the past couple of months and want to starting learning as much as I can again! Again, thanks for responding.
I would say it will add some value----errors on Morgan dollars are pretty rare---I would send it off to get graded. Speedy
how much does it cost to have graded NGC or PCGS? I have a raw '03 o too that I've been thinking about getting graded. Can someone post a link or give me starting point please? Thanks!
You will find links to the better grading companies' web sites - HERE But if I were you I might consider having a trusted dealer examine the coin before spending the money to have it graded. If he thinks it is worthwhile, then it might also serve you best to have the dealer submit the coin for you. That would save you the membership fees.
