A recent purchase. This is the dealer's photo. I wish it were clearer. I can't take coin photos to save my life, at least not yet I'm wondering if I could get a higher grade at PCGS, it's really nice looking.

Where are the polish lines? Are there lines between the S and O on the reverse?
It might be one of the first off the dies. The strike is real nice and not mushy at all.

From my limited experience with this series,I'd say MS64 with a shot at MS65.The 1921 was a high relief coin.They will expect more when grading.IMHO

How dare you
Yes, the picture does look rather flat. This baby's got cartwheel to spare

This one seems to have above average strike and the luster is probably better than the photo indicates.
Congrats on the very nice acquisition!

It's NGC 65, and solid at that, I think. It's about the nicest 65 graded 21 that I've seen, NGC or PCGS. I can't see it not crossing at PCGS 65. Ive been looking at auction photos of PCGS 66's, and I can't see where they're really any better.
I've been looking at it a lot over the past two days, and maybe 65 is the right grade for it. I don't know.
I'm happy with it as is. I may try to cross it over if I get bored, but it's not high on my list of priorities right now.
i think most of us (myself included) were on the conservative side for two reasons: one, we don't want to look like we're Liberal graders, because we know the top services aren't, and two: the jump from 64 to 65, pricewise, is HUGE!
that said, very VERY nice coin!
