Does look like it's had an old cleaning. Obverse looks AU55, reverse AU50. I'll say AU53.

Ty analyzes it well. AU-53 sounds right.

If I'm buying it would be XF-45, selling, sure it is an AU

Looks like a solid AU-53 to me. Strike is pretty good. PQ coin for the grade IMO

EF45/40 for me as well. It could have enough luster to break into AU territory, but it's always best to side on the conservative side in grading. The reverse I don't like at all, looks like some one cleaned it roughly awhile back and it's now just returning to a normal look.

Its true the reverse looks worse and I think cleaned in its past too..
But luckily - with the buy up of 1921s for the 2021 Peace, the obverse is the important side..!
I was originally looking at XF45, Au50 .. and was happy with that being what it was, but then the other thread (the dumbfounding one) with the PGCS coin, significantly lower, being graded at AU55.. it got me thinking ..
ah well....

53 sounds right for this one. Straight grade.

Looks like a strike issue rather than wear...maybe tilted die? Notice the incomplete rim on the lower right obverse causing the mushy 21...even the ST of TRVST is slightly affected and corresponding reverse Legend is soft because of lack of metal flow but has a deep rim.
The upper obverse is strong and the lower reverse is really strong...looks like you could pluck those rays below DOLLAR like a harp! The Eagles feet have almost full definition.
The obvious hit on her cheek and a couple on the Eagle...but no noticeable ones in the open field areas.
21's where not known to be luster bombs...but people tried to make them look like them.
Take a look at Great Collections offerings for 21's...there's a NGC62 right now...has a couple of light ticks...but turns me off with all the milk spots.
IDK...I'm thinking yours is at least a 58?
I like it...Nice coin you have there!!
