[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2264294, member: 1892"]Youth and energy is trumped by age and treachery every time. I could whup the tar out of the guy I was 30 years ago. :) If this were any Morgan but a 1921, I'd be alarmed by the character of the toning. This is the precise look of a coin which has been stripped by dippping and then allowed to retone too quickly. 1921's, though, went through a different planchet prep process and tone entirely differently. This is, believe it or not, "attractive" toning on a 1921. :) I still worry about what PCGS will think of it, although I've owned 1921's with similar color in righteous slabs.
