1921 Dime Help Needed

I bought a small collection (large collection for me) from a neighbor who's husband recently passed away. I'm posting questions on a few coins because they are interesting to me and I'm still in the learning mode. The collection had partial sets and I'm wondering if the two 1921's are authentic. Grade Opinions please.

  • G-4, scratched, genuine, maybe cleaned. I don't see a MM.

    There are two small parallel lines/scratches at the MM location, my question is regarding the possibility of MM removal. I would expect to observe a more questionable MM site appearance if removed, but I'm not familiar with removal methods or what the MM site would look like if removed.

    This one has too many issues. It could be sold as damaged which will be a reduced amount.

    I don't think mintmark removal is likely, the 1921-D is scarcer and more valuable than the 1921 Philadelphia (no mint mark).

    My Adolph A. Weinman signature :)

    Overdate - an excellent point, I should have thought of this. The coin is damaged and I purchased as a damaged coin, but after I got home to better lighting I had (unnecessary) 2nd thoughts.
