    Thats your standard, low-relief Peace dollar. You can tell right away that this coin is not a 21, even without observing the date.

    I don't even think it was a Peace Dollar to begin with.

    The font is wrong for the 1921 Peace and this coin isn't a high relief coin either - your basic rip off!

    2nd time this coin has been discussed. This coin was never a Peace Dollar...not a 27 nor any other date. It's some sort of cast counterfeit. Look how bad the 2 is!!

    the word TRUST in the motto "in god we trust" is spelled TRVST with the V symbolizing the allies Victory in the war

    The coin is a cast counterfeit made from a low relief date with the mold tooled to
    change the date to 1921.

    2nd time this coin has been discussed.

    The other thread was for the same coin, same picture, but different seller! This seller is in UK, the other was in US. Clearly a ripoff, clearly a fake, but this looks like either hijacked pics or part of a larger scheme.

    It got 26 BIDS image and the buyer is not even getting a real coin with an altered date. It's a cast counterfeit, and the picture tells the whole story.

    Ebay is truly dedicated to servicing mentally challenged. Yet these same people would never buy a certified coin from a legitimate dealer at a coin show. They think that bidding in an auction protects them because there are others bidding along with them.

    It’s like lemmings diving over a cliff.
