Description
1921 Peace Dollar, PR62
The Famous Matte or Satin Proof
1921 $1 Matte PR62 NGC. Roger W. Burdette does his best to
demystify the enigmatic proof Peace dollars in his Guide
Book on the series, but sometimes his explorations leave more
questions than answers. His estimate of three to four satin proofs
for the 1921 High Relief version, for example, is utterly at odds
with the 17 satin proof certification "events" in NGC's Census
Report. Yet there is no denying that the proof Peace dollars
are rare. The only question is, how rare?NGC chooses to describe proofs of this nature as "satin" rather than "matte," and considering the amount of life the finely textured surfaces have, the descriptor is better than the dullness implied by the term "matte." A faint golden overtone graces the broad surfaces on each side, and while a handful of long, thin hairlines are visible, the rims are square and the eye appeal is solid.(Registry values: N7079)
