Ah the song “Saved by zero”
The zero looks to be one of the few good things 😂
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
...also marking the end of war like 1921 did.
What war ended in 1921?
WWI
The 2021 peace dollar is ...
Although refreshing it is not as lustrous as previous issues including the 1921.
Can you imagine if it was struck with the same finish? They would be much more valuable imo and would be incredible!!
The US signed the peace treaty in 1921, instead of 1918 like the rest of the world. Which is why we don't have Peace Dollars going back 1o 1918
If they couldn't get a "cartwheel" effect right, they should have gone with the "enhanced uncirculated" they did with the 2014 Kennedys. A lot better than the "aluminum foil" look they decided on
If the mint could do it 100 years ago, the mint today could do it, they just didn't. I haven't seen a 2021 in-hand yet, but the luster is qualitatively very different from photos.
WWI ended on November 11, 1918. The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919.

US didn't sign a peace treaty with Germany until 1921
That's not what he said...............
He said: "also marking the end of war like 1921 did."
"At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France." (www.history.com)
While the conflict in Afghanistan is referred to as a war, it was never a 'declared' war. Further, it was an invasion to attack a group sheltered by that country. So, while the term 'war' is used, it was not officially a war. Still, precious American lives were lost in conflict. Cheers, RickO
I think this is historically inaccurate. The Pittman Act of 1918 required the minting of silver dollars to resume to replace coins melted and sent to England. It simply took them 3 years to start doing it. During most of this 3 year period, people were lobbying for a Peace dollar. The war was considered over in 1918.
They were unable to secure congressional approval due the new design. Eventually, they realized they didn't really need approval for the design change.
Better than the Morgans.
Umm... Not quite. The Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919.
They're still wrong on the history. You're right about the armistice date. The Treaty of Versailles was signed in June 1919.

The 1918 date is probably still the most relevant for the end of the Great War. The US victory medal, for example, was only awarded to US troops who served between April 6, 1917 and November 11, 1918 or with American expeditionary forces in Russia. Per Wikipedia:
The Victory Medal was awarded to military personnel for service between April 6, 1917, and November 11, 1918, or with either of the following expeditions:
American Expeditionary Forces in European Russia between November 12, 1918, and August 5, 1919.
American Expeditionary Forces Siberia between November 23, 1918, and April 1, 1920.
I don't think anyone uses 1921 for anything but a historical curiosity.
War does not have to be "official" to be a war. Ancient wars never received a formal declaration. Lack of political approval for a war does not prevent it from being a war. . . just ask the participants and the victims. Armed "conflict" is just a polite word for war.
Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.
The 2021 Peace Dollar is......
Nice looking, with all its so called "faults" (not by me).....after all it is 2021 not 1921 and these finishes are expected by the younger crowd to be this way. We won't be around when this really gets appreciated so I enjoy it for what is is now......my 2cents

Very nice pictures @coinsarefun
Collector, occasional seller
.....better struck than the originals.
Peaces of silver...
Silver Peaces....
The US had a separate peace treaty with Germany, and was not a signatory of the treaty of Versailles.
Very nice this is going to be the winner of all of them. 1st of the new Peace coin in the series and low mintage. But that’s just me dumb Type2 thinking.
Hoard the keys.
Okay, so not actually marking the date specific end of wars, perhaps marking the beginning of a hopeful peace.
Well executed and aesthetically pleasing.
Available, affordable yet collectible with potential appreciation in value.
