    What are your collecting goals? I suspect you could benefit from a specific focus.

    I would pick the Peace Dollar... been looking for a '21 for quite a while, and that is a nice one. Cheers, RickO

    I like the Indian head but that’s just my preference. Witches don’t really interest me any longer. I have to exes.

    I would go with the cent. The peace dollar maybe rare, but I agree with fiftysevener it does look weakly struck.

    Hmmm,
    I think that '21 Peace is a little too "AU-ish" looking
    I think that streak across the reverse of the proof indian cent would bother me

    If possible go for an MS63 1921 Peace Dollar, they can be very attractive in that grade and don't cost too much more than a 62.

    I wouldn’t buy a 62 Peace Dollar. Spend a little more for a 63. I also don’t like the streaking on the IHC.

    You should buy which ever makes you happy. Between the two, I'm partial to the dollar because of the spottiness/uneven toning on the cent.

    I would say the Peace Dollar. I worry about high grade copper going bad over time.

    I know that it's really going to depend on which one makes you happy.

    By both, in a months time sell the one that does the least for your happiness.

    I would pass on both coins. The '21 Peace Dollar is too weakly struck for my tastes and the 1888 Indian cent has unattractive toning.

    I would have chosen the Peace if it had the right look to it. But IMO it does not.

    That IHC is a real treasure, so I would say go with that one.

    Ps, I chose the Indian head because it’s really cool so the Search for a peace dollar continues 👍

    Indian cent is superb cameo but PCGS will not designate it as such due to dark color. Modern proofs after 1936 need to be full red to get a cameo designation. NGC however sees cameo on RB proofs and rightly so I believe.
