<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2372039, member: 1892"]The 1921-P Morgan has the single highest mintage in the entire series, and a <b>huge</b> number of them have survived into the present since they were not subject to Pittman Act melting; in fact, they were the result of the Pittman Act forcing the Mint to recreate all of the original coins melted. This is the reason for the massive mintages of 1921 Morgans and the Peace Dollar series. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your 1921 shows some circulation, and has a value on the low end for a Morgan. Similar can be found in a dealer's "junk bin" for $20 or a little over, and it's therefore not worth the cost of grading/slabbing. I see (potentially) the telltale hairlines of a brushing on the lower right quadrant of the obverse, which would further reduce the real-world value were it not already a minimal-value coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing in my words should be construed as advice to unload it.
