The recess in front of the eye looks deeper than usual with a sharp edge at the bridge of the nose. The others I've seen have a smoother transition between the eye and nose.
Their isn't that much wear overall so I didn't attribute it to the nose being worn flat making the edge of the eye socket more pronounced.

I see what you mean, but over the course of thousands of 1921's studied I've seen it a lot. One of the fascinations of 1921's for me is - like Lincoln Cents - some features rarely found on coins produced in less-prodigious numbers are downright common on 1921's.
