I don't like laminations so this coin wouldn't be of interest to me.
Tough coin. Seems like a fair price. Lamination wouldn't add value though, IMHO. (Might even detract a bit depending on the purchaser.)

too rich for my blood
would be a sweet coin to own though

It's priced well below 64 money which should tell you what the seller thinks of the coin. Laminations like this often sell for deep discounts and are tougher to sell. PASS.
Strike is weak, lamination is a distraction on a 21-S. I wouldn't be a buyer.
Collector, occasional seller
I don't care for the lamination on this coin.
To most buyers that lamination is the equivalent of a details grade...don’t pay more than unc details money for that coin. Someone on the forum had a straight graded 18/7-d buffalo nickel that was straight graded MS with a lamination designation...was asking moon money and his price came down considerably before maybe eventually selling. Treat it as unc details
The coin sold at auction almost a year ago, by Stack's Bowers, for $1680. I'd be a player at $800. It doesn't even have a full horn. Very weak strike for a 21-S.
How come it didn't get a details grade? I sent a 1955 DDO obverse in with a small obverse lamination and it got XF details grade only with lamination note.
look at the top of the label.
although, depending on the size/placement of the planchet flaw, coins do still get straight-graded w/o the error designation.
From my understanding you have to pay the "error fee" otherwise a lamination will come back in a genuine holder. I had a Peace dollar with a cool and somewhat large lamination and this is what I discovered. Upon its return in a genuine holder I resubmitted with the error fee and it came back in a graded slab with the 'error' noted on the insert.
Ask a member here about his experience with an 18/7 D. I would love to know the outcome.
Too bad about the delamination.... I do not care for them on coins. Personal preference of course... If I found it in circulation, I would keep it, but would not slab it. Not one I would buy.... Cheers, RickO
any other coin with a planchet flaw would get detail graded, this is what I mean about special treatment for the big players. yes it is a decent strike for a 1921-s they were weakly struck.
You’re mistaken. It has nothing to do with “big players”. Typically, such coins, if submitted as errors, will receive straight grades, regardless of who submits them.

Lamination = AVOID. I hate laminations. My experience when trying to sell them has been uniformly negative.
My opinion is it’s not a good enough strike to make the 64 grade anyways. I see it as a 63. Then you throw in the lamination and you have a not so desirable Buff.
Pass
OK MFeld I'll try that the next time I submit and we will see how that goes!
I agree with koynequest -- the lamination is a killer to me.

Rather get gold at that price, cool coin though 👍
Pass. The lamination is ok, but that strike is weak for a 21-S. 1921 was a decent year for strikes, keep searching.

Don't be a cheapskate and instead pony up for the error designation fee! Otherwise, yeah- you're stuck with a details slab again.
