Those are some great finds! I've seen plenty of pre-1925 SLQ's in, top-3 TPG slabs, with very weak dates, all the way up to the Extremely Fine range. Here is an 1923-S graded F15 by PCGS; wish it was mine. I believe your 1920-D is F12.  This one lives in a PCGS XF40 holder:  Edited by steve199

I purchased another lot of 40 for $108(actually under melt), and made some other intering finds. Primarily a damaged, beat to heck 27-s! LOL....ok, so it's not worth much in this condition(maybe $8 or so), but it is still a key date! Now I have 2 out of 4 SLQ keys that I've obtained purely from junk! I also received to dateless 17-ds, a 1920-s and a 1923, both are barely distinguishable, but I'm always excited when I get anything pre-25 that I can identify. I'm hooked on these SLQ junk buys!  The 1921 was by far the best find so far.   |

Wow, amazing finds. Great deal too, even if you didn't get all those keys. Steve199, I unfortunately have have to disagree. Either PCGS overgraded the first 23-S, or they were lenient due to the coin's rarity. Still a nice coin though, it might be a while until I get a 23-S. It is a solid F-12, and Johnny's 20-D is a G-06. Here is my 1921 PCGS G-06, shot at different angles:   |

Nice 21 wheatguy! Yours is certainly stronger than mine. I've been looking at a few 23-s and 21 TPG graded coins, and I think they are terribly inconsistent with the grading in this series. Sometimes they take into account the weak date and ding the grade, and other times they don't. |

Here's the reverse of the 1923-S PCGS graded F15 coin I posted:  Here is a 1921, graded G6 by PCGS. The biggest difference is seen on the reverse:   |

Wheatguy, thanks for posting that. I think your could easily be a VG8. And perhaps the '23S is overgraded. ANA guidelines say the date is clear on both VG8 and F12. But, in practice, the TGP's often grade otherwise. Interesting... |

Yes, mine wouldn't surprise me as a VG-8, but I accept it as a very solid G-6. It really is close to VG-8 though. I agree with Johnny, TPG's are very inconsistent with grading these. |

Here is the reverse of the 20-D I posted earlier. Unfortunately, it has some scratches, as you can also see on the obverse.  |

Yeah, my 27-s is also damaged as you can see. I believe the "21" is problem free though.
