It's an amazing coin. PCGS graded it 64+. They don't come much nicer than that.
They are not common, for sure, but "easier" than the earlier dates.
How little? 3 coins. 1921-PDS Broadstruck Morgan dollars. I picked up the 21-D this week from the post office. [IMG] Here are the other two...
There are 5 clashes on this one. Three inside the top leaf cluster, where they're supposed to be, and two inside the second one, due to rotated...
One of the very few shots I've done that wasn't a single coin straight on. Shot this in 2009, which is one camera body ago. [ATTACH]

I think I see it, too. What does the edge look like?
Fakes are always the right diameter, usually the right weight, and almost never magnetic.
It's a rather faithful reproduction of B-14/BB-51. The fine detail is a little blurry, the stars don't point to the denticles correctly, and it...
When a mint mark is punched into a die, it pushes the metal displaced by the punch aside, resulting in a slightly raised field on the die around...
It's assuredly meant to be both. Do you have an album for these?
Undergraded, overgraded, correctly graded all in those holders. I have no opinions of the coins without seeing them.
I was allowed to bring my photo gear over to their booth early one morning before the show opened and take the photos under their watchful eye...
Chop marks on trade dollars are considered a special type of damage that PCGS allows to be present on a coin given a "problem free" grade,...
