Are you folks thinking of 1916-D instead? Because I don't see much astounding difference in price guide between 1921-P and 1921-D, like 4500 vs 4250 in MS64. I also noticed the D looking indented but a PCGS MS66 FB image the D is the same down to some die scratches.
The "Found in cigar box change" thing on all of them is pretty hokey, but it does make me wonder how much money laundering goes through coins. Seems like you'd just wander around coin shows with a suitcase full of cash and then "grandpa's collection" magically appears.

OP - The 21-D looks cleaned to me.

FYI just a quick sum in my head of current bids and seller has about 40 grand in "Russian Traitor Assets". And some new stuff from a "Doomsday Estate"!

I noticed that many of the coins that this seller has have the edges filed down smooth.

The seller's most recent ebay purchases (or feedback, at least) seem to come from another seller named "centsles" and I know that name for some reason (probably bad). A look at some of the coins offered by "centsles" gives me many doubts. This is all something to steer clear of to me. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Looked at it and my eyes went right to the mint-mark. My gut says something isn't right with the mint-mark. It looks pushed in around it as mentioned previous.

As I said previously, the D looks "pushed in" on lots of certified examples, and two die scratches on the right of D are identical as markers. OP on left, two PCGS coins on right. I don't see a value incentive to add a D to a 1921 anyway.  If they are really the result of money laundering, I wonder how many were cracked out to avoid tracking cash purchases back through a TPG cert. Seems like a logical part of converting to "grandpa's collection". |
