I have not seen this piece in hand but from what I do know it is supposed to be genuine.. No one will ever send this back in because it is already certified.. I only question the way the date seems to be very weak on the last number...

Probably due to a slightly grease-filled die.

I see what you mean.
I do not have one to compare it to.
Trends ms-60 @ 75,000
The last one looks like it has no base.

Using my phone browser I have to zoom in to see the last 1
The rest of the date is clear

exactly , Bmoney, if all the pros are correct then this one should be perfect as the others.. I have seen examples of quite a few and not 1 of those has a faded 1 like this.. Just seems real odd thats all

I replied earlier from my phone. Now that I am at home I looked up the pictures PCGS took using the cert # It is perfectly fine. Just the angle at which the OP picture was shot plus the slightly darker color on the numeral made it look ghostly.   |

Ok now the next question..With the new clear pics , does anyone else see a difference in the last 1.. points to check..# 1 different shape 1's # 2 is the base on the second 1 is shorter , is this the way it should look ? Just wondering why they are not the same ? Here's a pic of another 1921 MS 65 certified ..Look at the 1's here.. You will see the last 1 again is different from the MS 66 coin.... The MS 65 last 1 is broader and almost the same as the first 1.. or is it just my eyes.... ? did they use different dies ? did they make diferent type dates ?  |

they originally made lots of 1921 halves so yes there would be different dies for the reverse/

Just like the George VI halves........... Take 1945 for instance. We recently bought 11 original bank rolls of 45's from an old time dealer and I found in the batch pointed fives (most) repunched 5/5 ( around 8) and 2 very scarce Blunt 5 coins. The last digit is oft times a different punch so depends on the die in use at a particular striking. Since 1921 halves are now very difficult to acquire in nice shape (mint state) it would be hard to compare various dies.
