<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2462146, member: 71338"]That 1921 Morgan is very common. It looks like it was lightly cleaned long ago, although I do see some scratch damage on the reverse in front of arrowheads and perhaps in a few places on obverse. Even without the damage, the light cleaning might be acceptable but the grade of the coin is so low that you wouldn't get much over melt value. If that was your dad's, it is priceless and has sentimental value that exceeds silver value. Take good care of it and label it so the next family member that gets it knows who originally owned it. As for the Washington Mint, I think that's a coin firm I'd stay away from. Generally, any firm with Mint in their name is trying to sound like a govt mint and confuse customers. Plus, they probably overprice coins. The best way to buy is be informed. Therefore, read a few basic coin collecting books that run the gamut of collecting, then start buying slowly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
