1921 s morgan... I almost feel guilty :D

Interesting story on this one... I bid on this one and won the auction but didn't meet reserved... It had a bin as well for 90% list and had it been an OGH and not a 30th anniversary I might have pulled the trigger before the auction ended. Well I messaged him right after the auction closed to see if he might offer it for the reserve... he did but while under list I could grab a nice ms64 "P" for the same price... Now i double check the 3 21s i have on hand.... icg 64 p , ngc BU p and a possible 62-63 pl also a p raw in my album
In that time the seller made a 2nd offer splitting my winning bid and his reserve so I pulled the trigger and the S upgrades the date set as well as full morgan set (yes I'm rationalizing the "expense" lol) and the best part... something I hadn't noticed through all this... it was the sellers 1st sale
Anyhoo here she is...
1921 s MS62 and I think much nicer then any of the other 3

Not a bad strike for this date. Normally extremely mushy.

 

that's the exact issue I have with the 3 p's.. This one is just so much sharper in detail then those This is the best of the 3 (icg 64) (not sure I ever post this one lol)

 

Sweeet Matt! Very nice-looking ladies!

 

so so hard to get a clean pic of this lady.. In hand and the sellers pics looks closer/better then my shots. I'm quite happy with her

 

Looks good. I picked up one of these for my Morgan registry last year. This ones an NGC 64 with a CAC sticker. 21,695,000 minted. NGC has graded 5,822 in MS64 with 1,013 graded higher. They've graded 17,127 of them and PCGS has graded 18,563 of them in all grades. PCGS estimates 10 to 15 million were melted under the 1942 Silver act and additional ones in later melts.

 

They had to "reverse engineer" the dies in 1921 because the Morgan dies were destroyed in 1910. There are subtle differences in the dies between the 1921 coins and those produced earlier (1904 and before).

 

Very nice looking coin. I think it is under graded, being an OGH. It has very strong luster, and goodie state for a 1921 S.

 

Good die state. My autocorrect is running wild.

 

I think it's graded right given those scratches. Didn't quite come across that way in the seller's pics. Without those I think it would up to 63 today.

 

Unless I’m out of it which is possible, if by OGH you mean the one above, those were a special label offered a few years ago, ie 30th Anniv.

 

OGH means old green holder, not just the anniversary issues— it is an early PCGS generation of holders.

 

He's saying this is a knock-off of one of those. I didn't notice it until he said it.

 

There was a limited run of PCGS 30th anniversary holders that were like the original OGH. I was under the impression that the 1921 was originally in an OGH, and reholdered in the 30th knock- off holder.

 

Oh really? Weird. I wonder why they'd do that. I know I wouldn't want one of mine re-holdered just for the hell of it. I guess there are other views on that.

 

I think he was saying that had it been a real OGH, he would have paid the full ask. But it was in the 30th anniversary holder (never in an OGH), so he ended up paying less.

 

Oh, ok. I get it now. Moment of gigantic brain fart.

 

No worries; it happened to me on another forum just yesterday.

 

There, that's better. So PCGS was just marketing these crazy things.

 

Yes it was a marketing thing, lasted for awhile. I did a few including this one:
