What do you think about this morgan from 1921?
I understand that many have melted.
and that the quality was not very good that year.
Is there a minting error?

 

The picture is a partial of my 1889 Morgan. I have a new microscope and I found what looks to be letters or partial words on her cheek. I am sending a partial photo. Do you want to see the full coin? This Morgan is labeled UNC. Am I seeing letters or is it just my imagination??
Thanks

 

Not seeing anything. Likely pareidolia. For future reference , we always want to see both sides of the coin, full shots. Happy hunting

 

Low grade but eh, I don’t want to pay for a good one

 

Die break on "D" in DOLLAR.

 

Nice! I've been hunting for one of those for a long time!

 

I've just picked up this 1882 proof like Morgan. Deep toned around the rim and strong breastfeathers. Maybe I should say proof, the toning is heavy.

 

I bought this one in the early 80's from Bill Fivaz. Many of the VAM's that
I once owned came from Bill. I quit collecting them in the late 80's. I had
all of what I considered the most important ones, E's, overdates, MM varieties
and others. About 75. The only important one I never owned was the 1878 VAM 9.

 

1878 VAM-9A. From VAM World, "The 1878 VAM-9 Morgan Silver Dollar is the very first set of dies used to strike Morgan dollars! The 1878 VAM-9 is an 8 Tailfeather Morgan w/ the A1h reverse. Detective work has revealed they began striking the new Morgan coins at 3:17 PM on March 11, 1878. The combination of the die & the time is known because a reporter was present at the event and the first coins struck were presentation pieces for President Rutherford B. Hayes. Rutherford Birchard Hayes was the 19th President of the United States. His specific coin has been preserved & studied for die features & subsequently identified as a 1878-P VAM-9. The reverse die is identifiable because of the "comma" feather on the lower right side as looking at the eagle. Some VAMmers describe this feather as kidney-bean shaped & it is a key identifier of a VAM-9."

The only details coin that I have knowingly purchased. Looks better in hand than these images.
