I honestly think that it's around an MS60 but I think it received a 62

 

Yup... weak strikes are the hardest to grade next to those, AU55 to MS62's. This doesn't appear to be one of RLM's sharper images either,,, or is that the strike. lol.
When I run into these, and I can't degrade it based on the fields or rims, then I look at the easily worn high points like the date, above the ear, etc.... both of which look pretty good to me on this one. The reverse is also pretty solid imo..... Also smell a hit of luster around abe's head (another plus). I just hope they didn't give it a 64,, the strike is simply too weak. I think she'll go 63.

 

I,am going to take a poke on the bottom end here at 58 it just doesnt look that strong

 

I guessed 62.

AU would not surprise me.

Looks like a slider.

 

This one is super tough, I'm guessing 62 but am probably not even close.

 

+1

Based on the high stops on the obverse which look clean to me, I'll say MS60...

 

If the weak strike doesn't count in the grading, I'll say MS62 with verdigris and corrosion (a details grade).
I don't really like this coin but it is what it is.

Based off that 26-S that was a 63, this one might qualify at that grade. Spots there before or after the grading? Pure WAG on my part. If it was guess the Marks grade I would have went with 61. One of the few for some reason I do not like from the pictures.

 

The 21-S are some of the worst issues in the series. This coin is nicer than most of you think when compared to the others out there.

 

I bet this one is equally graded, but I like this one's strike more. $140 from the 'bay this year. btw,, the luster around the frame of the cent is one of my favorite things in a bn and rb cent,, particularly like to get it a bn prices.

 

I'm going to agree with mpcusa and go for a 58...

 

Tough...

60

 

went with the 58 on this one. defiently a tough call thou.

 

OMG....that's a BEAUTY! Lucky find! I would have snagged that coin up at almost any cost. I'm a sucker for BN's with tinges of red like that....and in a 21-S....sweet. Amazing strike bro!!!!

 

Looks like a week strike to me , I'll say MS-61 if the spots were there when graded .
