Here's some reeds and denticles next to another choice BU 1921. I WANT to just say it's normal, but something about the strike is keeping me interested.
It might have been prepared for a piece of jewelry or something ornamental, but a coins gotta be buffed to oblivion to remove any die-cracks, and would certainly diminish the devices, not elevate them.
The date looks off to me at first glance. After studying the coin, the only thing worth mentioning is how mushy "In God We Trust" is. Probably the result of wear. Last set of photos helps with direct comparison. Reeding looks great, and that is where counterfeiters can fall short. But, if the weight, dimentions, and sound is correct, what can I say? I will have to conclude that it has been altered, but is a genuine coin.
