Find something to use as a turntable and get a light bulb. Turn the coin on the turntable very slowly and check to see that all the Fields are Cartwheeling. Examine any parts where Cartwheel is weak or nonexistent; determine why. Check those Cheeks and that Phrygian Cap for a Snowy Finish. Um, I think but I'm not an expert. I'm getting ready to send in my first Morgan's for PCGS Grading. Oh and beware of PL's they follow a different path. Have Fun Man.
Grandma’s old 1921-D Morgan Dollar looks to be nicely detailed as perhaps an XF-AU, however it certainly appears to me to have been cleaned at some time in the past. Have you shown it to other knowledgeable collectors with decades of experience or to any dealers ? I believe you might be offered a wholesale price of $22.00-$24.00 for such an example.
Intresting i relatret Roem&hass as historical name , somfing i found as its is inner usa exstinet , (dr döhle.. ect ) what ever here is adopet as conect/medling with the very profound as old Hülls Gruppe, a to Adevetis Cemical production AG, or Röhm it woud be inliquid i gues ...
I'm not saying you are right or wrong. But what I want to know is how can you tell that from looking at a stationary photo. In order to check the Luster you have to look at the coin while it is turning/moving, or scan every bit of the coin under magnification and hope you don't miss anything. Reading photo's of coins is tricky. Yes it is cleaned but me, myself, LOL, I can not tell from a photo how well it was cleaned. All I can tell is someone did not know how to clean it correctly because it it is not completely cleaned. Or somebody wanted it to look old and dirty, collectors like that, LOL, they say.

I was thinking the same thing, but wasn't sure...are you a certified grader? That is one of the classes I want to take...
oh, and the finale is coming next...please sub?
No, but I’ve been intimately involved in the hobby and industry of numismatics for 59 years.
AWESOME! I could learn a lot from you if you wouldn’t mind sharing?

It’s not as good as you think it is it looks worn out… no luster looks cleaned… only the D mint mark makes it more valuable…
I was thinking it had been cleaned too…but I no expert yet.
