I love the toning on the reverse. What do you think it might grade? Thanks in advance!

    Like the color,but the lower obv. looks like it has been wiped.Possible hairlines below the chin and across the date, I hope I'm wrong.

    Tough call from the picture. Pictures lit that way, to show the color, are good at hiding minor chatter and hairlines (see also my picture of the 1849 $20 compared to all the published pictures).

    First reaction is that it's pretty nice, but I see what looks like a patch of horizontal hairlines across the lower obverse.

    Yeah, details cleaned.

    Looks like it doesn't have much luster either. image

    That's a clean one, 64/65 IMHO.
    Couple hits on the neck, but the focal area appears mark free.
    The reverse looks great too. Are the pics hiding any hits we don't see?
    Nice piece brother!

    EDIT: <<Looks like it doesn't have much luster either>>
    21's are known for a lack of luster, just sayin.

    Cleaned, you can see the nearly horizontal wipe marks across the bottom.

    It looks cleaned to me.

    Some of the wreath leaves appear weakly struck.

    photos like that sadly, make it impossible to guess.


    try one of the coin flat and not so harshly lit, it wont look as "cool" but it will show us the true surface of the coin.

    The picture is overexposed which could be hiding problems. I see lines down by the neck which might be a bad sign. From that photo I can't make a call.
