is a 1921 NGC MS65.....

 

1921 MS65 Obverse

1921 MS65 Reverse

 

I wasn't really looking for this one, but when I stumbled across it I had to have it.

Very nice!

 

21 Peace is such a great coin. I have 3, 2 VF and an MS-60 (shown in my type set) and will probably add more to my collection as I find them.

[Wihlborg]

Very nice coin!

Very nice, very clean - congrats! I love Peace dollars as well.

Nice coin, and nice to be able to pick one up when you aren't looking for one.

 

I think this design, along with the St. Gaudens double eagle, are the two that were hurt the most by post-release tinkering with relief. It's too bad as the '21 has so much more eye appeal than the later dates, in general.

Tom, I agree completely. It's not as obvious in photos due to the lack of 3d perspective, but comparing a '21 with any later date issues in person shows a night and day difference in the two designs. It's too bad the technology didn't exist then to produce high relief coins in volume.

I agree with you, Barry. Of course, today we have the technology to produce such coins but our Mint and government do not have the desire to see the job through. It's truly a shame.

That's a gorgeous coin Barry! Puts my lowly MS-63 to shame!

I am not sure if any of you Peace collectors would be interested, but I just got an e-mail from Heritage, and they have a 1924 graded MS-67 by PCGS, offered at $5,450. Not sure why they picked me for that message, other than the fact I bought some peace dollars from them a few years ago. Anyhow, if that might interest you, then contact Paul Simonetti at Heritage.

I got the same email, and if you read it they'll sell it for $51xx. I'd be interested, but it has the "tone" word in it which doesn't fit with my collection.

Thanks all for the kind words. I wish you could see this coin in person, photos don't do it justice!
