1921 $1 Chapman PR65
Greysheet & CPG® PRICE GUIDE
The so-called 1921 Chapman proof Morgan dollars are named for famed coin dealer Henry Chapman, who, it is presumed, ordered these for sale to the numismatic community. Perhaps 30 were made, and many boast stunning surfaces and overall excellent quality, with overall diagnostics that suggest these are true proof strikes and not merely proof-like circulation strikes. Many were mishandled and thus about half grade below PR64. There are a few exceptionally nice survivors grading as high as PR67 and at least one or two known cameos. One example graded PCGS PR67 took $229,125 in a 2018 Legend Rare Coin Auctions sale.
Obverse: Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse: The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.
CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.
Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.
Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.
CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.
