Am I a 1921-S Buffalo Nickel (with awesome lamination error)

Hey there,
This Buffalo recently came to me and I’d love input. The flip says 1921S?, but it looks to me like it is, in fact, a 21S. It definitely has a cool lamination error on the reverse. Would love grade input as well. The flip said AG2/3 which I think is way low. Thanks!

Looks like a 1921s to me! G4/ VG8. Awaiting more answers.

 

From what I am seeing, that last digit does appear to be a 1, so I'd say you'd be right in your assumption. Nice grab!

 

Looks like a 1921-S to me, and that is a nice lamp error on the reverse. Nice pick up @Mark Metzger

 

I say 21 S with a grade of G+.

 

Why, I believe that you are!

 

I forgot but I’d give that coin a grade of G-6.

 

The Wounded Knee variety.

 

Sure looks like a 21S to me.

7 is the closest shape in Arabic numerals, and that doesn't look anything like a 7.

As for Grade - AG-3 is actually probably the correct grade.

Grades get a bit loose on these since this is a key date, but whenever the rims are worn down into the letters (obverse and reverse), I have a hard time calling it anything but AG. You could make an argument for G4, but I absolutely can't go any higher than that.
