echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/06/2009 6:02 pm Could just be the picture, but I'm seeing a slight bit of wear on the eagles chest and on the leaves of the wreath. I'll say AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 09/06/2009 10:54 pm I also think this is a lightly circulated coin. Miss Liberty's cheek and the obverse fields show a darker shade than the protected areas around the lettering. This effect usually means the coin has seen brief circulation. AU-58, IMO.

A different reverse was used, one with less detail. In addition, they were produced in such staggering quantity that worn dies were almost the norm, and the mints tended to wick down the pressure to increase die longevity. This coin is actually a good strike, evidenced by the detail remaining in the largest wreath leaves on the reverse. I won't guess at a grade for the reasons mentioned. Slider 1921's are almost impossible to grade from photographs. Report this Post to the Staff
