    Obverse too dark, hard to tell.

  • burfle23burfle23 Posts: 2,453 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The owner was expecting a 64...

    I will be surprised if it's MS, my guess is AU58.

  • Jzyskowski1Jzyskowski1 Posts: 6,650 ✭✭✭✭✭

    AU 58.

    I’m guessing 62. The stuff between the rays of the reverse indicates some surface disturbance. Could be a 58 depending on how it looks in hand.

    I haven't had much luck in getting good images of the surface of coins in slabs... from the images, I guess either 58 (interpreting breaks in luster as wear) or 62/3 (breaks in luster are attributable to flatness of strike and imaging through plastic)

    MS60. Poorly struck with many marks. A coin I would not buy.

    Not true. CoinFacts shows photos for many, many 1921’s with grades from MS67 all the way down to 1.

    Typical central obverse weakness, but well struck otherwise.

    I dunno. I think probably MS-64 at best.

  • PapiNEPapiNE Posts: 330 ✭✭✭

    OK. I'll make my first guess. That reverse looks beat to hell. AU-50 would be a gift.

    Not even a real cert # ... so either fake or typo that has been corrected ... no chance that's a 69, or a 67, or probably a 60 anything

    Some sort of tomfoolery is going on there.

    Top pop 1921s are MS67, and I think I'm familiar with almost all of those either from seeing them either in-hand or in auction photos.

    It's a mechanical error, been making the rounds. I should have recognized it.

    I guess it was thrown into the modern grading pile and those standards were used ( no marks -> 70; blemish ->69). o:)

  • lkeneficlkenefic Posts: 8,169 ✭✭✭✭✭

    wow... could you imagine what goes through your mind after opening the box from PCGS and seeing a grade like that?

    ...and then reality kicks in...

    Why use an obviously mislabeled coin for guess the grade?

    Not being a Dollar expert I wondered what others thought of it and what the owner may actually expect when he returns it. I suppose I could have asked to guess the "mechanical error" grade.

    I was also interested if anyone saw it as a 69...

  • logger7logger7 Posts: 8,701 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I saw a 1921 HR at a pawn shop here in Yankee country for $150 that was about the worst I've viewed. But with GS at $150 in VG you have to wonder if prices on these are still rising.

  • jedmjedm Posts: 3,069 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I've wasted time doing stuff more stupid than this I suppose.....I'm trying to forget about 'em though.
