<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7654751, member: 105098&quot;]Hi Tegan Traylor, welcome to coin talk!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d agree with the opinion except it&#039;s an 1886P not a 1921P.&nbsp; melt value is around $21.00 or so, it could sell somewhere in the area of $30-$40 most likely but due to the condition I&#039;d agree with Spark1951s valuation, it could push up if you sold on ebay and you get a couple people bidding against each other to get it to $40ish.</p><p>but it&#039;s clearly not Mint State which is what it would take to get it to the $50-$60 range&nbsp; or higher in my opinion, so even if it wasn&#039;t dinged or cleaned, or pitted (the black spots around her forehead on the obverse)&nbsp; and was still in uncirculated condition, it still doesn&#039;t break $100 until MS63 or so, and doesn&#039;t get really crazy until MS67 and above, which it isn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d give you a grade, but realistically if it was sent in for grading it would come back a problem coin most likely for either corrosion, cleaned, or damaged by that ding or a combination. It&#039;s not a &quot;cull&quot; coin, it&#039;s not that bad, but there&#039;s a whole lot better condition coins of that date it would be competing against out there which will hold it down. it should sell for more than melt, but I can&#039;t see it going for more than XF value and the difference between G and XF as far as the values for that year is like $5 of play so not really worth looking much deeper as far as grading goes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe you&#039;d have interest in checking out VAM world. people collect Morgan dollars by die pairs and varieties, it might not add any value to the coin, but it might teach you something you didn&#039;t know about morgan dollars. if you have interest in seeing if that&#039;s a VAM and cataloged, the link is here for 1886P VAMs: </p><p><a href="http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1886-P_VAMs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1886-P_VAMs" rel="nofollow">http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1886-P_VAMs</a></p><p><br /></p><p>it has pictures and what to look at to identify the VAM. Who knows it might add a couple buck to it if it&#039;s a top 100 or something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
