AU-55 details, environmental damage/cleaned. Once it tone back down to brown it will be a decent looking coin.

I am afraid I must agree with other opinions. The coin has uneven/corroded surfaces and it seems to have been cleaned from the pictures. Condition is EF, corroded, cleaned. Yes, '21's (and '23's as well) are difficult to find with decent surfaces. As an example, these are the ones in my collections. Condition is only 'so-so', and the better one has lightly rough surfaces as well, and a planchet defect or pit on the obverse. Paid less than you did, though. Up to F12 or so '21's are relatively easy to find, in my opinion. In better grades. however, they become very difficult.   |

This came in. The color looks nicer than seller's photos. The surfaces have a little corrosion when viewed under a 7x loupe, but it looks as nice as it can given its surface condition.   |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Handsome return, indeed! 1821 is an interesting date: based on the low mintage, many collectors consider this date to be scarce. This is true, but ONLY for attractive coins with good surfaces, and in grades grades above Very Fine. Below VF, they show up suprisingly often. These are the two best in my collection:   |
