Good advice. After the first couple of basic books, I'd recommend a couple of good loupes, a strong light, and a straight-graded PCGS 1921...
My sentiments exactly.
Is there any significance in the eagle facing the opposite way as the emperor?
If you're into searching for rare coins, there do exist a very (very!) few 1983 and 1983-D cents struck on copper rather than copper-plated zinc...
But, trees are a renewable resource. Save electrons! Read dead trees! :P
Before you think about sending it in, look here to see what a real 1921 Proof Morgan looks like. Get a loupe and check for the markers. The...
What kind of articles do they have? I'm hoping they don't have ads and don't take up half the issue with a useless price guide, at least. :)...
I'm not honestly sure it has any real value to begin with. I wouldn't buy it. I might take it if you threw it in with a set of 1982 cents, but I...
So, 9 silver dollars, 2 upgrades and 1 downgrade? Not bad. Obviously, I can't see the coins, but a downgrade from 65 to 64+ is probably more of...
The fastest way to get the right answer to your question on the internet is to post the wrong answer. ;)

Looks fine to me. You should just put it on a milligram scale and get a weight, then check against the spec + tolerances. Circulated coins can...
Hard to tell from these pics, but the reverse looks possibly cleaned. I see a pattern of hairlines in the direction of approximately 2:00 to...
The one currently on eBay is nowhere near as good as the one you posted previously.
Neat. The silver certificate is kind of a mess, and some of the coins seem to have some not great toning on them... BUT, the Roosevelt silver...
I understand why people might not bother with Buffalo nickels and Wheaties. Plenty of 'em aren't worth more than face value. But silver?? Any...
Really?
You did the right thing. I probably would have too if I were inclined to purchase that coin. Some (very few) coins just need a good dip, and...
Looks like it could be a die crack or a lamination. Hard to tell from those pictures. If it's raised and doesn't look like the surface is split,...
Absolutely solid strike on both of them. Attractive and original, but not premium-worthy toning. I'm hoping the cameo effect on the devices is...
Separate names with a comma.
