I appreciate the feedback. Almost an entire gram just seemed like a lot to lose. I'll take your word that it is real. Thank you

~7% is a bunch of weight but not beyond the pale, and thickness dimensions are a difficult metric for comparison. Even if there is a specific published number, strike tolerances make it inaccurate. This one can take its' rightful place in the collection, I think.  |

Looks genuine to me. It's a typical AG-G 1921-D that did its job in commerce. It looks very similar to the one that graces my Dansco album. Most 1921-D's are in this condition because they were not highly recognized as a key coin early on.
It really is harder to fake AG-G coins and the financial incentive isn't there. I'd be a lot more worried if you were showing us a raw AU coin.

I too agree with everyone. The difference is due to wear. Not an easy coin to find, so be glad you got that one.

I see nothing wrong with the piece other than honest wear. Nothing to indicate to me that it isn't authentic.

It looks real to me. I've seen heavily worn Walkers down a gram in weight. What's left of the reeding? Has it been clipped?

I am looking for one of those myself. How much did it cost you? I am also looking for a 1916-S and a 1921-D and a 1921. Most of these coins are in awful condition due to wear. If you get one in EF condition you will pay $500-$1000. For the coin to be in great condition it must have been in a collection or a vault IMO.

This one's a "good" AG3 and at $77 you paid maybe 60% of slab in grade. Nicely done, you could slab it and still profit on the resale.

I have two 1916 Liberty Walkers in G and F condition I bought for about $40 and $70, respectively. I made low ball offers I thought and the offers were accepted. I have learned my lesson on ebay about making multiple low ball offers. Someone might just accept all your offers. I wanted a 1916 and a 1916-S but only got the 1916's. |

I didn't buy mine from ebay just so everyone know's I bought it at a live auction but didn't have the chance to test everything until after I bought it. Thanks again for all the feedback it was great :) |
