[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2637129, member: 77413"]New pictures for 1921. There is an excellent set of three articles starting with [URL='https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/660/']The Coinage of 1921, Part One[/URL] on the NGC site. The author points out that "[I]Typical of branch mint coins produced during the 1920s, both the obverse and reverse dies employed to strike this issue were used way beyond their reasonable limit, and examples showing extreme die erosion are found quite often.[/I]" In this case, the obverse of the 1921-S has a slight woody effect that runs through the high points of the face, making it look lighter, so it seems more worn and weaker than it is. On the reverse the lack of detail in the right wheat ear is also typical, originating with the worn die, not from circulation. [ATTACH=full]581172[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]581173[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
