<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2470696, member: 24314&quot;]First, I&#039;ll agree with your grade.&nbsp; The reverse is Uncirculated with no trace of wear.&nbsp; Unfortunately the obverse shows friction wear (pink change of color behind eye, etc).&nbsp; Since a coin&#039;s obverse accounts for much of its grade, the purists among us will call it AU-58.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I&#039;ll bet a major TPGS will slab this coin as MS depending on what it looks like in hand.&nbsp; Just to make sure, an experienced dealer/coin doctor/collector would know how to remove the contrast caused by rub and this coin would easily be graded Unc. - IMO probably MS-64!</p><p><br /></p><p>Question?&nbsp; What are you using to claim the coin was struck with an 1921 reverse die?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see, this is not true.&nbsp; Do a simple experiment.&nbsp; Take a brand new red Lincoln cent from your change.&nbsp; Put it face down on a concrete sidewalk and move it back and forth a few times using a little pressure.&nbsp; You are now holding an AU/Unc unless you got really serious and made an XF/Unc. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The same effect can happen to a coin except it occured naturally by whatever the circumstances.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
