<p>[QUOTE="timewaster1700, post: 3373097, member: 101305"]I got the coin in today! I'll have to post more pics later. Basically I really like it! No distracting marks on Liberty. She looks beautiful. Nice luster but not overly strong which is probably the reason its a 64 vs 65. The hair has maybe a bit less detail than I'd like but gosh this is a tough year to get a good strike and I still believe this is a well stuck 1921. When I look at it as a whole the lack of full hair detail is not distracting but when I nitpick I notice it. The brown areas in the above pictures are WAY less noticeable in person. The "Splotchy" sort of change in color on the edges is more noticeable in person but really just when analyzing it carefully. I don't know if this is an artifact from a dip or if this is an uneven pattern of tarnishing. The Reverse is simply incredible. The Eagle looks so well detailed and there is like one small mark on him that's not very distracting. Overall very pleased with this acquisition. Not a perfect coin, none of these are. But a very beautiful one and I think a good one to start off my Peace dollar collection with. Thanks everyone for chiming in on this thread. I'll try to get up some more pictures tomorrow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
