1921-D help needed
Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2023 4:24 pm
I haven't been able to find this coin in either the Scribbles Guide or the Die Crack Break Guide. But before I dump it into the lap of @messydesk I need to see if anyone here recognizes it. Thanks for any help/suggestions.
The scribbles are impressive, especially the ones outside the eagle's right leg:
Equally impressive are the many polishing lines located from way up the eagle's abdomen, down to the lower tailfeathers:
There are several polishing lines on the coin, but these two are the longest:
There is a really nice diagonal double-line gouge in the eagle's inner left wing:
The best die crack on the coin is this one that goes left from the bust tip through the lower tips of left star 1 and into the denticles below left star 2, and goes right through the bust tip over the first 1 in the date. There are a couple of cracks in the Break Guide that are similar, but they don't match this one:
