<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 89338, member: 112&quot;]Now the other part of your question. I copied the pic of the original coin in question, enlarged it 50% and brightened the image for illustration here. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gdjmsp.cointalk.org/other_pics/OP%2021%20peace.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Remember that I said in my first post that the coin was struck slightly off center. Look at the rim, see how it grows very thin down by the date. Because this coin was so weakly struck, more so than normal even, and because it was struck off center - there was simply not enough metal flow for the numerals in the date to strike up fully. Thus the tops of the bottom half of the numerals appear flat - just like the hair details. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully, this will help some to better understand the strike characteristics, and how to grade &#039;21 Peace dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
