why is the date worn away when no other details near the obverse/reverse rims are worn away?

Barndog I see things differently, I see the rim worn off on the lower obv, why are you saying the opposite, what am I missing? >>



do you see a 21 in the date? I see remnants, that's my point. No other area of the coin shows remnants near the rim. Maybe this is a characteristic of Peace dollars. I don't know. I collect stuff as big as the rock that eagle is standing on.

PutTogether

Forgive me if this comes off as too blunt.

CONS: The strike is less than average, even for a 21, and the coloration in the obverse fields, and the outline of the eagle on the reverse ugly. The wear on the date kills it for me. Granted you can tell a 21 Peace from the rest of the series even with NO date visible, but the date is an important part of this coin, I wouldn't like one that wasn't clear.

PROS: The coin certainly looks original, and the wear has happened in an even, overall decent manner (except as noted). It would be a neat addition if someone were building a raw dansco album of VFish peace dollars, rather than looking at a hole in the 1921 spot. Outside of that purpose, I don't really like it.

It all comes down to money. If you spent $50 its amazing! If you spent $500 it really really sucks.

40, no sticker

That's an interesting number.

Is there any doubt that the coin actually is a 1921?

Is it common for the P in PEACE to be warped?

TennesseeDave

Could it be 1924?

INTERESTING COIN

I am not as concerned about the grade as much as the surviving population of the date with these striking characteristics

I think 35 or 40 is not the issue... look at the date and the reverse OF S

It is a coin that makes coin collecting what it is...

I like it

Nope. Numbers in the date are too thick.

Definitely a 1921, and it's too bad it's been circulated, the strike on the hair looks better than average. I agree with Russ, value of about $100

Look at the beak of the eagle. '21's are different than the others. This beak says '21.

couldn't it have been struck thru grease
it doesn't look like it's worn down through
the rim and date

The planchet is slightly tapered. That's why there's a lack of definition at 12 o'clock on the reverse. Totally natural and mint made.

Aside from the strike weakness, I like it.

Good thread peeps. I'm learning i'm learning.

Looks like a well fingered pocket piece

Possibly an altered date...

I respectfully disagree, that is not a better than average strike.

lkeigwin

It IS a '21, if you know your Peace dollars. It isn't an exceptional strike...it's average. And I wouldn't pay $100 for it...maybe $30.

Good luck finding one for $30.

There’s an illustrated table of relative strike (obverse only) for 1921 Peace dollars in the new book on Peace dollars from Whitman. It might be helpful.

I notice the rim is worn down below the date, might have something to do with missing date, sorta looks like this one

49thStateofMind: Is the coin thickness even all the way around on your 1924 dollar?
