** Very nice detail on this VF-30! The smokey toning is attractive!**
Thanks, it’s even a tad darker in hand, and “crusty” as some say.
The reverse detail is quite strong and every bit high VF.

I have this one. VF25 CAC. The wear on your Miss Liberty is less than mine. The sun rays on mine is stronger than yours. At this grade level it is my understanding alot of attention goes to the sandals. In circulated coins I look at wear as layers of removal. One physical plane at a time.
I do agree with the grade on your coin, and I also feel the "wish it go vf30" on mine.

Mine started here.
An ebay purchase 7 or 8 years ago. Crossed, then cac'd. Sure is nicer than the vg8 it replaced.
Thanks for the kind words on it.

Well, now.........This thread has caused me to really think.
Here are TWO AU 50 1921-S coins:
This one sold in 2019 and was part of the Ozark Collection. It was the same sale where I harvested my 1921 P MS 65 from! I think that this coin proves that an AU Early Walker does not have to have booming or even moderate luster. This one is VERY wholesome with gray surfaces just like my 45 but it has a much softer strike than mine, IMHO.
Here is yet ANOTHER AU 50 that sold a year earlier in 2018. The strike on this example is also VERY SOFT. The lack of detail is also likely attributed to WEAR, as well.
Coin #1 was $7031.25 all in.
Coin #2 was $6457.50 all in.
I'm certain that they'd realize even MORE in today's market.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

Just judging by what I see, yours is close to these two in amount of detail visible.

Agree with the VF25 grade / op coin.
This is a lovely coin, balanced and choice! I was going for the breast detail, but didn't pay enough attention to reverse hits on mine. I may go CAC from now on. To give you the latest price point for yours-
