NGC US Coin Census for Peace Dollars (1921-1935)

Owner Comments:

The Peace dollar celebrated the end of the Great War. It was also the last denomination to undergo a Teddy Roosevelt inspired, American Renaissance design change. In 1921, it was released the same year that the Morgan dollar was revived for a last hurrah. The first year type in high relief is especially sharp and artistically attractive, but of course, more difficult to mint.
The High Relief Peace dollar type is the rarest non-gold type coin of the entire 20th century with just over 1 million strikes.

This example has a nice strike and superior luster, however, it is difficult to find any high relief Peace dollar with fine details in the hair over Liberty's ear. This coin is difficult to find in MS66, and NGC has graded only 15 higher than that.
