GTG 1921-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar

Your first picture makes it look grainy and fake and distorted.

Looks really different in scale pic.

The last pics make it look like it may have been polished. I think it comes back as a details coin.

 

I'd say VF Details altered surfaces.

I chose not to pursue buying any of the 1921 because of the costs involved. No comment whether the coin is fake or not, but I would envy anyone who would pay the going rate for this 21D.

 

HI. I right clicked your scale picture and then opened the picture in a new tab. Then I enlarged the picture to see details. I compared your coin to the 1921-S VF-20 on page 256 of Q. David Bowers "Grading Coins by Photographs" 2nd Edition and it looks similar. My opinion is genuine VF-20.

 

VF30. A straight grade, IMHO.

I agree vf 30

 

Cool machine, but it's having trouble reading the date

 

Good work

 

Looks around vf20 to me.

 

Acid could impart that look. Fact it's uniform through the rim, too, is suggestive of it.

 

I still say the first set of images make it look horrible!

Glad it straight graded.

(You should practice your numismatic photography!)

 

Hmm leaving the authenticity question aside we all overshot it. But in the slab the grade looks about right, I'd say.

 

@ilmcoins was this an ebay purchase? (Just curious/nosy)

 

No, I purchase single coins, estates, and coin collections locally. Im about to roll out a platform where others can do the same in other areas and will do a post about it in a week or so.

 

Glad it straight graded for you. Looks like the imaging may have been a tad unflattering.
