  Very clear in focus image and nice Peace $ I like it very much. It could use a little more light though.

  Color looks unnatural to me.

  There ya go, that's the thing - "do you prefer the following improved brightened images that depict more of the coin's details?"
  
  Crazy.
  
  The details get worse.
  
  Nice reverse though, obverse, not so much.

  Strange how the toning is so similar on both obverse and reverse. Is that common? I'm a newbie when it comes to toning. I do like it, but brown toning seems kind of dull and lifeless. Do people pay extra for brown coins? The blue and purple and green toning is prettier. That's just my opinion. Which is better?

  That's a great looker. I love the peripheral sea green arc on the reverse rims.

  Generally I agree with you on the brown toning, but it is common on 1921 Peace dollars. Many are streaky brown, looking like they got dunked into someone's coffee cup. While I'm no good judge of NT versus AT, I do think the toning here is quite attractive for a '21 Peace.

  Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

  The following images do a better job of depicting the coin's mint luster than those previously posted.

  I think it looks like a nice 64 with some old Wayte Raymond album tone, pretty clean.

  Weak obverse strike. Look at the tiara band. Reverse looks good.
  
  
  
  Tone not in my wheelhouse.
  
  
  
  Reminds me of a '68 tobacco sunburst fender strat. Jimi, yes. 1921 peace, no.
  
  
  
  MHO.

  The 1921 is a fantastic coin. This example is of average or perhaps a bit better than average strike. Unfortunately that means it still isn't really struck well at all. The brown toning is a bit dark for my taste, but fine. The blue around the reverse upper rim is a little odd to my eye.
