moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 12:42 pm Obverse center hair is almost always softly struck on the 1921, and that's what this is. Finding a well struck obverse for a 21 is nearly impossible. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 1:34 pm Although the 1921 Peace typically has soft central obverse detail, this one seems well below-average. If you are looking for this date you should be able to find one with stronger hair detail. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 1:54 pm This is an example of what to look for https://coins.ha.com/itm/peace-doll...ction-120115 Both coins are MS64 but this one will likely hammer for well more than the example you linked. Report this Post to the Staff
logantrky Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 2:24 pm Agree with the others. The '21 is known for being weakly struck, but this one looks like a particularly sub-par strike. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 2:36 pm Agree, usually weak, but that is below average. Even the reverse feathers are a bit flat and scratched. I'd pass. Report this Post to the Staff

The feathers on the reverse looks worn but I was waiting to see what everyone else thought. This looks like an AU coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 4:42 pm Pass - price aside, the coin just flat-out () lacks appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 01/04/2017 8:17 pm Typical strike for a 1921. The deep die relief resulted in little or no contact with the planchet at the high points.
