Whatever "value" you may have determined it has either through a possible VAM, mint error, etc. - the color or cleaning would most likely not affect that. With the exception of the previous possibilities you essentially have a XF or XF+ 1921 Morgan Dollar that otherwise holds very little value to begin with, let alone enough value to have it graded. Good looking old heavily circulated Morgan though, imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find the color more intriguing to the eye than the standard shiny coin. To each his own I guess. Personally, if given the choice between a toned MS coin and a Lustrous MS coin of the same grade, I would choose the latter (because it was most probably handled with utmost care or left alone). Unless of course it is one of those rare ridiculous rainbow toned MS coins. By the way, this coins looks very well circulated. I dont't think it would be worth much (probably between $30 - $35) to consider getting it graded. Edited May 19, 2017 by joydeep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillJones 10,734 posts Report post Posted May 26, 2017 The coin has EF-45 sharpness with a some PVC, which might be removed without damage, and a possible cleaning. The mint marks on all 1921 Morgan Dollars are small. The coin interesting because it is the only Denver Mint Morgan Dollar, but beyond that, it does not have a great deal going for it.
