htorresa New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 10/03/2014 8:25 pm There is a problem with the photos posted, but if you click on the photos you may see that the coin looks just like any other silver coin that has had a lot of wear. The description is correct. The seller has a 99.9% positive feedback. I doubt that he would be selling a cheap fake. Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7616 Posts	Posted 10/07/2014 1:57 pm Looks like a well worn, toned, genuine 21-S to me. They are not hard to find. Going towards the other end of the spectrum try finding a lightly worn, uncleaned, natural 21-S in XF (or higher) and you'd have a home run on your hands. Report this Post to the Staff
