It's a very nice 50. A couple of carbon spots but still very nice.
Really tough in this grade.

How do you guys say that the reverse of this coin is a straight AU
Obverse AU-50, Reverse VF-25 Net EF-40 IMHO.

1921 S's should be graded in comparison with 1922 No D's. Honestly a nice AU-55 piece here. Often times were struck with worn out dies.

Perhaps this coin was not in circulation, but some reason it looks worn when it really is just turning color from red/brown to brown?
Yes, I know there are some "dings" on the coin, but is there "wear"?

No way do you get VF or XF wear but still have the amount of red mint luster on the reverse - so the conclusion to me is a worn out die leading to a weak, mushy strike - pretty common in many of the D and S mint coins up to about 1927 or so when they start getting much better strike-wise.
AU53 or 55 I'd say.
