The strike on the obverse is much, much better than most I have seen.

Shes a beaut!

Nice coin. Looks the same as the other one. Too white. Come on I know you been waiting for me. When they're too white it kind of reminds me of a chicken that just got plucked.

Now this is what a good strike looks like on a 1921 Peace.

Nice coin !

I agree- very nice strike for a 21!

Iwog

Too white? I guess you aren't going to be happy when I crack it out for a quick dip.

1921 is luster challenged so I was thrilled to find one with a good cartwheel.

What Happened to the "Brillant Proof 1921 Peace dollar" It was Much More "SMOOOOOOOOOOOTH"

You can throw that plucked chicken in my direction!

That's one of the earlier strike coins. Fresh from the dies...that's why the obverse strike is so strong compared to the usual mushy strike these are known for.

If you looked between the S and O on the reverse you'll see a bunch of die polish lines. It's one of the characteristics and diagnostics of the proof 1921 Peace $. Proofs are defined by how early they were coined and the proofs were struck twice with more pressure and may have resulted in a doubling of the wing feathers.

Beautiful coin .... even if it ain't toned!
