Description
1921 Peace Dollar, MS66
Fully Struck Example of This 20th Century Key
1921 $1 MS66 NGC. Let's talk about strike on 1921 Peace
dollars. Because of the high relief, they are all softly defined on
Liberty's hair. Right? Well, almost. In the summer of 1980 Rick
DeFrancis dropped by the office to buy and sell coins with Ron
Howard, who was then the head buyer for Steve Ivy Rare Coins (in
addition to Steve, of course). Rick had two 1921 Peace dollars that
were as strongly struck as I have ever seen on a coin for
circulation. They weren't for sale either, just for show, as he had
buyers for them already. In the 41 years since I (MVW) have only
seen one other coin with a comparable strike and that was maybe ten
years ago. Now, here is another. The mint luster is thick and
frosted with no objectionable abrasions on either side and a light
blush of golden color on each side. The collector who needs a 1921
cannot hold out for a fully struck coin, but when one is offered,
such as this piece, it is definitely worth stretching for. NGC
reports only eight numerically finer submissions (7/21).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2U4E, PCGS# 7356, Greysheet# 7887)
