This one I bought for $2 over melt when silver was ~ $20oz at a local coin show. In the not so great show-light I thought this one was MS, but it looks like there's too much rub on the eagle's breast and on liberty's cheek for that. AU55/58 maybe? Obviously the ugly scuffs on the fields of the obverse detract from the value, but there's a lot of cool die cracks on the reverse!

I'm a terrible grader so I'd love to hear all your opinions.

Tough call, but I'm inclined to believe it's Mint State. 1921's are a different hub entirely - strike quality varies widely from "not so hot" to "simply terrible" - and I think the cheek is explained by the same incident that left the scuffs in the fields.

By the way:

Not a real added-value variety, but one of my favorites all the same.

I agree, this looks like a mint state coin that was mishandled. I think this sort of coin is what the MS-60 grade is for!

It's a place holder in my 20th century type set for now. And my first VAM too! Thanks for the info, SuperDave.

I also agree. Actually it is a pretty good strike for that yr.
might even go 61/62 overall. 60 a shoe in.

I think it is a MS-61 or MS-62 also. I have seen some MS-60's that were pretty bad looking and even though this one has some pretty bad scratches on the cheek and field in front of the cheek I still think it is in better than most MS-60's I have seen
