Welcome to the Forum! At first blush, I would assign this a grade of MS-67 though the reverse seems superior to the obverse. The strict constructionists among us, however, would insist that a Mint State coin must exhibit "no traces of wear." So where does that leave us? On the obverse, there appears to be a suggestion of wear on the face extending downward to the mid-section. The flag, or pennant, and bottom part of the shield, exhibit more of the same. Not sure how the oblique line extending under the left arrow would affect the grade. The reverse appears to have been strongly struck. There is, however, a suggestion of wear on the middle right leaf, a mysterious triangular patch of mottled ground NW of the top left bow and the swan dive-like line emanating from the E in ONE. Any member inclined to volunteer a grade would have to take all of these phenomena into consideration. I love the coin, which is in remarkable condition for its age, but am ill-equipped to volunteer a grade objectively. Let's wait and see what the experts with a purported 150 aggregate years of professional numismatic experience have to say about your lovely gem...

Thank you for the info and the time to take a look! This forum has already really helped me in better evaluating coins and getting an appreciation for all the aspects in it.

To me that should not keep it from grading. Old Bust coins are allowed some imperfections. Like Mark said though......it is a slight distraction. I will look it up and see what JR # it is.

I believe it is a JR-7. I will be sending it in if not more than to give it some extra protection. I am pretty new to collecting and appreciate everyone's help.

Welcome to the forum.

Your 1821 (not 1921 😉) dime looks like an easy AU to me.

Dang typos. Thank you. Would you be worried about the scratches on the right side of the obverse?

Looks very nice. My guess from pic would be 40-50. Do you collect by JR Number?

I am a very new collector but it certainly interests me. 

Hi guys. I was wondering if you would consider grading this coin. Either way very happy with it.
