Another 1921 Dollar - GTG - "Better than average" strike

EVERYONE believes their 1921 has a 'better than average' strike. I am no exception. Submitted below is a 1921 I purchased from a forum member here around 10 years ago - and it is still the best struck version I have ever owned.
Guess the grade if you'd like, also feel free to agree with or counter my claims of what I will from now on call "BTAS".
Pay attention to the details in Liberty's hair, the feather definition in the eagle, the tips of the rays on the reverse. Bland hair and weak feather definition are somewhat normal, but some of 1921s strike weakness extends all the way to the lettering of the legend. I believe mine escapes all the normal pitfalls of the date. (Though I, like everyone else, am probably biased by my ownership of the coin)

Yup. Pretty nice strike. There are a few better, but not very many.
If you do a cert lookup on 50269313 you'll see a TrueView of what I think has the nicest overall strike I've seen. Cherub cheek and outstanding lettering. There is just a hint of softness at the top of the eagle's leg. Not my coin. If anyone can find it for me I'd be a buyer.
I think you are right on the better than average strike as well.
Nice coin.
However my personal Evaluation standards focus more on Strike and Luster, as compared with the TPGS Grading standards which IMO tend to more heavily weigh Preservation State at the expense of the other two criteria.
Strike on 1921 Peace Dollars can vary on each specific coin in different device areas of the coin such as in Miss Liberty's Central Hair, her Tiara, Motto, Legend, Date, Rays and Eagle's Breast & Tail Feathers.
Obverse: I agree that the obverse strike is above average displaying an average strike in the central area (slight separation between the central hair curls), Motto & Legend are bold, and Tiara is average. I'd grade Obv MS-62/63
Reverse: I prefer the strong strike (Motto, Legend, Rays and Eagle's Breast & Tail Feathers), luster and preservation state on the reverse of your coin and would grade the reverse MS-64.
My consolidated grade for this coin would be MS-63 based on the above criteria. -- Hope this info is helpful.

Wow. Agreed. You almost never see that front curl separated, and the rays on the reverse and the "DOLLAR" are insane. If there is a better struck coin than this one I would like to see it.
The eagles eye and beak? The way it looks she has gauze stuffed in her cheek? Pretty incredible, thanks for posting it.
The only coin I've ever seen even close to the level of 50269313 was one RWB posted right about the time his Peace Dollar book was coming out. (And now that I think about it, it is probably one of the images in the book)
I can't guess, because I think I'm the forum member you got it from.
Yes - good memory.

If it had to have a number, I'd say 63
It definitely has nice eye appeal
This coin MS64+
The strike is great and well above average. The reverse is exceptional in my opinion the eagle so well defined down to the last feather. The top letters and rays all fully detailed.

Not me! Here's one with an average to below average strike.
