Looks like it was a 5 or 6. Now you're not suggesting someone would take a $2 or $3 merc and make into a $210 one are you?

Altered - I was thinking it started as a 7 also....the first and second 1's are SO different, I wonder why folks would bid it up so high.

I'd need better pictures for sure before this coin would interest me, but in the interest of discussion, especially where the similarity between 1's is of concern, ANACS didn't have a problem with the one I have provided a link to below. The digits are clearly dissimilar. There's some Machine Doubling as well, so there's some "background noise" around that last digit. The jury's still out for me...and no way to make a real determination from that picture. http://coins.ha.com/common/view_ite...=7882&src=prChance

Of course he isn't answering because he knows it isn't legit too.Just hoping that the sucker who buys it from him doesn't notice before the 7 days is up.

The 1 in 1921 definitely looks very suspicious! Here's my 1921D to compare:
