AU58 I see some light wear/rub discoloration on the angled photos. These 1921 dollars more often than not come looking like EF coins when they are uncirculated. This one is so close to MS but the lighter areas in your photos of it at an angle show the wear, light as it is. Very nice high relief first year issue. Your coin still has what appears to be great luster, especially on the reverse, so wanting to go MS on it isn't out of line. Don't worry about missing areas of hair, just look for luster break points as you roll this coin around under a point source light, and I think you will see the rubbed areas, they aren't bad at all, and this example is certainly quite clean from bag marks and doesn't seem to be polished, over dipped or cleaned harshly in it's past like so many 1921
Peace dollars have.
