Description
1921 Peace Dollar, Gorgeous MS67
Registry Set Essential, First-Year Type
1921 $1 MS67 PCGS Secure. VAM-1H. Ex: MBJ. This is a coin of
immense importance not only to specialists in the Peace dollar
series in particular but to type collectors as well, one of only
seven Superb Gem examples of the 1921 Peace dollar certified at
PCGS with none finer. But the technical and aesthetic aspects of
this incredible Peace dollar are every bit the equal to its numeric
grade. Both the profile of Liberty on the obverse and the eagle on
the reverse are outlined in beautiful rings of patina -- silver in
the centers of each side, mostly light golden-orange on the reverse
with tinges of moss-green on the lower portion. The obverse shows a
similar ring in a "halo" effect encircling Liberty but deepening to
sunset-orange in the rays of Liberty's crown, and again, pale
accents of mossy-sage color decorate the lower obverse. The
preservation is impeccable throughout, showing no mentionable
marks. The strike through Liberty's hair in the center and through
the eagle's high points is far sharper than seen on the vast
majority of this normally strike-challenged issue. This coin was
struck from the VAM-1H dies, which were used to strike Satin proofs
as well as business-strikes. This piece (with a nice PCGS TrueView
photo accompanying) was in the consignor's Registry Set as we write
this, and it is undoubtedly destined to grace another fine Registry
Set in the near future. Simply a gorgeous coin. Population: 7 in
67, 0 finer (7/15).From The DeMicco Family Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
