<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jupiter88, post: 2218230, member: 75512&quot;]Hi, I&#039;m new to the forum as a participating member but have googled numerous times and landed here to view information over the recent months, but really wanted to do my due diligence in researching before I posted <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I have three coins that I&#039;m curious to have some opinions on so I thought I&#039;d post this one first (the others are an 1887/6 -O Morgan Dollar, and a 1909 VDB that I&#039;ll post later).</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is a 1921 Morgan Dollar and after umpteen hours of research and looking at the VAM website (SOO many VAM categories for this year), I&#039;m still lost as to the potential and grade what VAM(s) to assign?&nbsp; On the positive side, I&#039;ve learned to really love these Morgan Dollars!</p><p><br /></p><p>What I &quot;think&quot; I have figured out is the following; on the obverse, the striking appears strong and detailed, on the reverse there are 16 berries (D2 reverse), strong feather details and I think there may be some die breaks, lines or cracks, but not sure which kind and there is also a notable mark between the right star and wreath.&nbsp; It seems to have good reflection in person but not sure how deep?&nbsp; I did learn to do the cartwheel effect test, and the light moves back and forth clockwise and looks like there&#039;s luster on higher points?</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end I (even though this is my beginnings with coins), after my fourth type of loupe (trial and error), I really know nothing for sure, so this is my story and I am putting it out there to you all, hoping to get enough input to know if I should pay to have the coin certified?&nbsp; Thank you for listening <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]434205[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]434208[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]434210[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]434209[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]434211[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
