My general rule is buying a cleaned or damaged coin is buying someone else's problem, they are problem coins and always will be. 

Coinbuf hit the nail right on the head.....once a problem always a problem

Not my comment. There were no 1917 proof nickel dies made, so none could have been reused.

OH DUDE please except my sincerest appology.  I had no intenstions of stiking words in your mouth.....

here was no excess grease and most dies were retired before they developed starburs

Also pleas excuse my word smithing.  i am not as an eloquent q writer as some.  when i ment gresey i ment they looked soft and slick and mushy across the design not that they had Grease so sorry for the confussion   I guess i need to write better or remeber better

Don't confuse soft strike with detail not present on the die. 

no i am not.. the early 21 strikes required such great pressure for the strike to bring out the high relief that it often broke the dies and  made the subsequent strikes crappy for lack of a better word.  and for some reason they could not get this series struck well enough either not enough pressure to strike the coin or the dies did not come completely together or just wore out dies.  this left most of the series mushy and greasy..  It was difficult to find good specimens for each coin in the series.  and trust me i have toss  6 5's aside in favor of a lessor grade because they were of superior strike.

Condition ("grade") and detail are separate for 1921s. Of course, it'

RWB. Isnt this the case for this entire series....  It took me 10 years to build mine and 90% of the peace dollars have very soft strikes.....  oh by the way she is lovely.  still dont know if i am going to warm up that quickly to ya though   i think that you keep me lookijng for a 17 - D buffalo because you wrote somewhere that they woere made from left over proof dies and it took me 2 years to find a good 6 5 ... j/k good advice is never orgotten

you can look one up here

It is of latin decent.  they do not have a "U" in latin so they use the "V"  so blame it on the Romans!
