In a previous post Coin #1 received unanimous acclaim as a Poor-01 waiting to be graded. Yay! 
But if Coin #1 is a Poor-01, then what grade will be received by Coin #2. Here's an example where the grading scale could use decimal points... this is a 0.5 I think. (Massive thanks to Colorfulcoins for finding this little gem and knowing I would want it. I DO INDEED! He says the mint mark is clearly a D in hand, and it will complete my Mint Mark Registry set of Morgans in all Poor-01.):

When in doubt, don't.

Coin #2, only a P-01.

<< <i>It's probably still a PO-01, low end and not high end for the grade. Neat coin!!! >>
I enjoy coins that come with an interesting bit of trivia/riddle.

I thought the odds of this one turning up were zip, but a second one...
I will let you know, however.

Actually I like both coins - and just so you don't accuse me of not appreciating stuff like this, here is a picture of $5 from my own collection:

Here is an old scan of a U.S. 2 cent piece from my collection which I grade Zero (although I should get better images):
If I had it my way, stupidity would be painful!

How can you tell that is a D?
Experience more than anything else.
Compared to the Micro-O and Micro-S mint marks of previous years, the punches used for the 1921-D and 1921-S were much smaller. Also, unlike the Micro-O and Micro-S coins the positioning of the 1921 mint marks is much lower (as seen on this coin). By comparison, the Micro-O and Micro-S mint marks are practically tucked up under the bow.
I could instantly tell from seeing the photo that the mint mark was a D, from the basic shape of the blob that is left (a bizarre talent, I know, but it's an "eye" that results from looking at many low grade coins.) Colorfulcoins has the coin in hand, and he confirms there is no doubt about the D.
