    Not just sure when these will get scored, but I will try to post the answers sometime this weekend.

    1921's are some of the worst struck Philly issues.....I'm going to think about this one, it's definately a tweener.

    Leadfoot there is no spoon

    Weak strike, strong luster, clean fields. 64 BN.

    My picture did not show the good side of this one. I am not sure of the cause for the 2 colors, but it is not wear. Nearly mark free, good luster, and a solid strike. Why not 64?

    The splotchy, obverse surfaces should have held it to 63 IMO. The strike looks weak to me, it's soft on both sides from what I can see.

    Those wheats are SHARP and most of his beard is there. That is not a weak strike.

    Seems like the slab maybe a little scratched hard to tell!

    How does the obverse detail in hand compare to this?

    Here's the reverse for the 21 I posted. This one is what I'd call sharp:

    must be the pics.... in the pic there appears to be distinct weakness in many areas:
    back of head
    pluribus
    liberty
    left wheat stalk
    ... ahhh, gotta love grading by pics..... and the art of extrapolating one part of the design to others that are or are not in focus... good ebay practice !
