[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 4579365, member: 37839"]OK, the full story. As I said, I bought it a while ago, in an NGC fatty holder, graded MS 62.

So, I figured it was a slider, and low grade MS. As I said, later on, I bought a few Morgans, and Peace Dollars that had Truviews, and figured I might get them altogether, and create a TruView album for myself, on my computer. It was an interesting collection sightlight. So, given that the 1921 is one of 3 key dates in the Peace series (1928, and 1934s are the others, for those who are not familiar with a Peace Dollar collection), I sent it off, for cross, and TruView. I was going on vacation, and had my mail held, so I was in a rush. Stupidly, I forgot to specify “cross at same grade or above” with the submission. My bad, as you will see. I get back from vacation, and have my mail delivered. Well, I get my PCGS package with 6 coins submitted, and this is what greets me: [ATTACH=full]1133954[/ATTACH] At any way, I uttered several unprintable words, beginning with F, S, etc. PCGS thought my coin was circulated, making it a slider.
