Owner Comments:

I purchased this 1921 Peace dollar as uncirculated at a local coin auction in February 2006 and submitted it to NGC in March 2023. The coin appeared to be unimpaired to me at the time but a comparison of the surface texture, especially of the obverse, to that of certified uncirculated pieces, reveals some unusual glossiness and a slightly bluish tint. NGC deemed this coin "cleaned". It is still a decent looking coin with a better strike than many of this issue.

I took the photos before the coin was certified.
