I've had to cross light it to enhance the hair detail, but to the eye you can see all this looking at it straight on. Despite the tarnish this coin has very strong cartwheel luster. Image: 1925a.jpg 46.56 KB I also like this 1921, which is the strongest strike I've been able to find. The depth of the strike really looks great on the facial features, but look at the flat hairlines. This is not wear - it's flat planchet land which didn't make it to the bottom of the die. And you can also see that it wasn't for lack of striking pressure - note the planchet's rim crack at 3 o'clock, which goes through the coin: Image: 1921h1.jpg 35.96 KB "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 04/24/2007 3:20 pm Sorry, I didn't shoot a reverse. I looked at it, but it wasn't as impressive-looking. I could possibly get back to it in a day or two. What I've seen on the well struck Peace reverses is a lot of fine feather detail on the eagle's shoulders. On the 1921's you see this detail too, but 1921's all show weakness at the juncture of the leg and feathers (which on the opposite side shows as weak hair detail).
