It does look like a 21 but in hand it's 31. Again...back to my photo taking skills.
Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

Interesting photo. Sometimes I see 21 sometimes I see 31.

The photos are quite dark, I hope you don't mind I lit them up. Did you upload the wrong photo? That's a 2.   Edited by GrapeCollects

Quote:Embarrassed to say....It's my iPhone, a piece of printer paper under the coin and a second piece of paper to diffuse the light from a lamp. Pretty low tech. It does a decent enough job for my Lincoln Cent counterstamps, but when I do a plain coin it just doesn't cut it. I take all of my photos with my Galaxy S5, it works pretty well if I can get the right lighting conditions. As for the coin, I'm in consensus that the coin in the picture is a 1921S also. It may be just the pictures, but could the bottom part of the two been purposely pushed over and reshaped to look like a three? |

The original image is very interesting, in the illusion it presents. Some say 21, some say 31, not unlike that viral photo of the dress that's either black and blue or white and gold, or the viral "Yanny" and "Laurel" audio clip.
Take that photo and spread it around and your 1921/1931 penny might just become the next big thing on the internet.
