Description: Premium Gem 1921 Peace Dollar. Boldly Struck. 1921 $1 MS66 PCGS. Only seven examples have graded numerically finer at PCGS (3/14). Due to the difficulty of striking high relief coins efficiently, the Peace dollar's relief was lowered following 1921, making this first-year issue a highly sought-after one-year type. This piece showcases incredibly bold detail on Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers, putting this coin in a class by itself for strike quality. It may be the finest struck MS 1921 Peace dollar extant. The luster is fully brilliant with a satiny appearance, and the surfaces exhibit excellent preservation. Roger Burdette author of "A Guide Book of Peace Dollars," says: "Among Peace dollars struck for circulation, the 1928-P is the most difficult and expensive in upper mint state grades. The hardest to find fully struck is the 1921 – it’s readily available in upper mint state grades. But, virtually all of these are average or below average strikes. Examples with fully rounded lettering, strong hair detail, and clear eagle feathers are seldom found at any price." This is such a coin. (Registry values: N2998) (NGC ID# 2U4E, PCGS# 7356).
