Amazing strike for that issue!

JxnBoy · February 16, 2005 9:06AM

My opinion is that I like it a lot. And, it certainly is a great strike for that issue. Nice coin.

tsacch · February 16, 2005 9:29AM

yeah, nice strike

MrEureka · February 16, 2005 9:31AM

The black streaks on the reverse look like they're burned into the coin. Be careful.

poorguy · February 16, 2005 9:32AM

Above average strike, no chatter.

wam98 · February 16, 2005 9:53AM

I like the look of that 21. The strike is above average IMHO.

DNADave · February 16, 2005 10:08AM

The strike makes that one a keeper for sure. It looks original and you should tell me what auction its in.

added: there may be some light cleaning in front of the face.

also added: Solid AU

Thanks for the opinions. I`m going to roll the dice and take a chance on it. But still, I got the same impression that something doesn`t seem quite right that I couldn`t put my finger on it. So yeah I geuss it isn`t just me. If anyone else wants to add, feel free to do so.

The black streaks are from a rubber band.

Shamika · February 16, 2005 12:38PM

I'm not crazy about the toning, but the strike is incredible!

TWQG · February 16, 2005 12:44PM

The rim looks funny.
Oh yeah, nice strike!!

There is a LOT of wear on this coin to call it an AU. I'd lean towards high end XF. As others have noted, the originality of the piece is very desirable and the strike is very very good for a hi-relief '21.

The grade is declared as XF45. I think the tone is blah too but, the strike struck me as unusually very good. Thanks for the honesty. I`ll more then likely keep it raw. I wondered too if there was a light clean job too on the obverse. It was a " Coin toss " whether to get it or not. The strike, at least for me, edged it for me to go for it. There is good and bad in it and is a really close call whether it`s worth it or not. Again , thanks for the honesty as that is was I was looking for.

MadMonk · February 16, 2005 9:40PM

That is a very nice collectable piece for the grade.

Steve27 · February 16, 2005 9:43PM

Looks great to me, very original.

BillJones · February 16, 2005 11:00PM

This coin has a outstanding strike, but it has obvious wear. I would have loved to have seen this one when it first came from the dies.

Given that the grade is probably EF-45 or so, the rubber ban marks don't bother me. It would have been better if they were not there, but they don't detract that much from the coin. Peace dollars are not known to acquire great colors either. So this coin's orginal look, looks just fine to me.
