If this 1921-S WLH were in a P or N holder, I’d buy it ASAP, your thoughts?

    I basically like it but the color is off.....dip residue? PVC?

    Wouldn't buy it based solely on the photos, regardless.

    Even if the images were good, there would be no way to answer the question in a sensible fashion without knowing the grade and price of the coin (“in a P or N holder”).

    AU coin, but clean and very few bag marks. What kind of holder is it in?

    I’d buy it ASAP too, or just about any other legitimately rare coin, if the price is right.

    If I could evaluate it 'in hand', I may buy it.....pictures, as we know, can be deceptive.... and slabs are not necessary...The coin is the objective.... Learn before you buy.... and avoid premiums when you can. Cheers, RickO

    The opportunity is to buy before it’s in a holder.

    @Smudge "AU coin, but clean and very few bag marks. What kind of holder is it in?"

    It sits in an ICG holder AU50. Seller offers a 30 day return policy. I have no affiliation to this coin or the seller.

    If you are ok with the price keep it. Nice coin conservatively graded.

    Everything concerning the purchase depends upon the price. The coin looks dull and dipped out. Maybe it has some sort of residue on it that can be safely removed, but the picture is not confirming that or even making that the primary possibility. Impaired luster looks more likely, which might be a "details grade."

    If I were looking at this, where would I begin. I’d look at the EF price and consider the matter from there.
