[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2538123, member: 1892"]Bit more than one. :) Here's the 24A1 sorta-EDS, still has the pitting but no displaced field yet at the break (don't think this one's been seen publicly before): [ATTACH=full]543416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]543417[/ATTACH] 1921's require one of three things: A smoking-gun pickup, identifiable scribbling scratches which are illustrated at VAMworld, or sheer luck. There is - literally - very little enjoyment in attributing 1921's except the relief felt when you're done. That is a rather cool coin. 1921-S is notorious for greatly overpolished dies; methinks they had a problem with dies rusting.
