So, I didn't know I needed this coin until I saw it. At that point, it suddenly became irresistible. It arrived today, and it's really fun in-hand. This is a perfect candidate for what @TomB refers to as "Autumnal Toning". I'm a sucker for 1921 high reliefs.

Tell me what you like about it, what you don't like, and guess the grade. It's in a newer PCGS blue label holder. If you know, don't spoil it for everyone else. :)

Oh, forgot to add the photo. :/

The big reveal:

And, just for fun, the sellers photos. For the record I see it absolutely, without question as a 64 with a decent shot at 64+.

    Nice original coin - I like the look that says, no one messed with me :) I know how much we like to find well struck MS coins,, but for me I'd like to think this coin traded hands back in the day. Think of the folks that could of handled this and their life at the time, very cool!

    Nice I like it too as I'm also fond of the ones that toned golden brown.

    Decent strike for hair and feathers. Nice even tone. I'll go with 62 for grade.

    I like it’s apparent originality and my guess is that it grades MS64.

    Edited to add: I could see it as a 63, but anything lower than that would surprise me.

    You have a great eye for these! I am going to guess that it has a grade of 63 as well, however I REALLY see it as a 64, but these always seem to be graded lower than my eye sees them.

    I had a coin with a similar look a while back, sorry I let it go.
    Mine was a 62. Yours looks nicer, I will guess 64.
