Description
Exceedingly Rare 1921 Satin Finish Proof Peace Dollar
1921 $1 Satin Finish PR63 ANACS. The completeness of strike on this coin should be enough to alert the astute Peace Dollar collector that there is something unusual about this coin. Business strikes, as a rule, do not show the fine detailing seen on this piece. The matte proof variant of the 1921 is less well known, and were struck after the Satin Finish proofs. Neither Breen, Miller, nor Bowers lists any diagnostics for matte proofs other than the extraordinary sharpness of strike and difference in finish. The surfaces on this piece are subdued and show a fine-grain texture when examined under a loupe. Breen (1977) lists five pieces on the roster of known specimens and Bowers (1993) speculates that as many as 10 may exist. In addition to the finely detailed strike on each side, the coin is nearly brilliant with just the slightest accent of gray-golden patina over the obverse. Close examination with a loupe reveals a couple of tiny contact marks on Liberty's eyebrow, but the only ones that might show up in a photograph (and aid in tracing this coin's pedigree) are a pair of parallel vertical abrasions on her lower jaw.(#7382) (Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2UAU, PCGS# 7382, Greysheet# 7888)
