Hi all I bought this at a flea market for $20 and it is pretty nice. In my very limited grading knowledge I would say... XF but possibly AU. Hopefully my pics aren't terrible... Thanks!

Slider, au58 possible ms depending on luster in hand. But that beak looks strange even for a 21. Maybe it's just the lighting? Let's see what SD says...

What is meant by slider? And I took some pictures without the plastic covering it.

SD is currently sitting in the same spot where a heavily-muscled guy in sweats once stood in a movie, at the top of a long flight of steps. Y'all have to wait a bit.

And I just found slider in our handy dandy glossary. Yay learning! I was only basing my grade off of pictures online and the RedBook descriptions so I guess I was being pretty conservative.
Rest in Peace

What movie are you watching?
Mister Kairu, looks like one of the best Morgan guys here at CCF is at Peace.
A Rocky moment.

Yeah in hand there is a tiny bit of luster remaining but definitely not much at all.

Mister Kairu, I live in Philadelphia, and posted that from the steps of the Art Museum where the classic scene from Rocky was shot. Maybe I'll do something in GD about it; the view from that spot is to die for.

I can get to AU on this one, but wouldn't go so far as to think it a Slider. Even for a 1921 the wear is too plain.

That is what I was thinking that it would have just made AU possibly. And I have to admit I know a little about Rocky but have never seen the movie... I'm sorry I am dating myself so bad...

I agree not enough luster to go higher than 53
