My Top ANA Purchase: 1921 Peace with rainbow rims and a really nice strike

It took until the third day I was at the show before I found something that really spoke to me and was priced reasonably. I've always liked the high relief peace dollars, but they often come with a mushy strike, dull lustre, dipped surfaces, or a combination of those. This one is none of those, with a very strong strike for the series, strong lustre, and very attractive, original surfaces with colorful toning at the periphery, and a light golden shade throughout the fields. It's a PCGS MS64.

    Ditto, your patience is the mark of a first-rate collector. And it paid off in this beautiful Peace. The heaviest toning is in the perfect areas, IMO. I LOVE that the rays of the sun (to the right of the eagle) have that toning. Probably the best-toned Peace I've ever seen.

    Maybe I am wrong but I don't see 64, originality yes but not a near gem. I think the positive eye appeal of the skin and strike is off set if it over graded and with the amount of frost breaks and bag marks I just cant see it. I have been wrong before but I feel a coin can be all there at say the 63 level but a marginal 64 if it is over graded technically.

    This was my first thought as well when seeing the coin. It is a beautiful coin and I would have no problem paying 64 money for it so I guess that's what the graders felt as well since they price the coin, not grade it technically.
  • relicsncoinsrelicsncoins Posts: 8,103 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Nice original piece but it seems the coin is a bit chattery for a 64. I think my 63 is just as original with less chatter.

    To me, the grade on this coin's holder doesn't mean too much. I grade it beautiful and desirable. I'd be very happy to have it in my collection for MS64 money. This is a very unique 1921 with skin and toning to rival anything I've ever seen. Very nice.

    I have sold all of my old 21s but here is one from a different thread that shows equal or better luste, originalty and while it has a slightly worse strike and the colors are not there IMO it shows less chatter from a technical standpoint for comparison at one grade lower.

    Nice, pretty coin
    You're right on about them always being dipped or messed with..

    even on the one I posted, folks said it would look better dipped or "conserved".

    they are TOUGH to find original.
