    High Relief example? Aren't all 1921 Peace $s High Relief coins?

    I thought so too; 1921 is High Relief year and I noticed newer labels stated showing "High Relief" but don't you think they all are?

    Yes, all 1921 Peace Dollars are high relief. I'm not really sure why PCGS puts it on the slab, there is no need other than to emphasize it is a separate type from the 1922-35 years.

    They complicate the matter for newcomers by having some state high relief and not others, for no apparent reason.

    Unless a customer made a request to have it added to the label but than again....wouldn't they have to do them all the same after they granted the request? I wouldn't want to think favoritism has entered the equation. hmmm

    Of course the problem with Apmex is you will get a 64 but not the coin pictured

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Not that those pictures tell you anything anyway. Man those are bad

    I paid about that much for this one. Of course, it was a barn find and it was eight years ago. I had the green pin striping done on the front fender a few years back. Thought it might go gold, but we all know how tough Pebble Beach concourse-level competition is...

    Yours so beautiful; easily 65+ or 66 potential and I love the so called "soap box" holder!? What a classic for keeper!

    Paid $120 for this interesting one from Centles. I thought it's a nice raw to have as my post-it paperweight

    Here's an AU with almost as much detail. Is it a High Relief example? Aren't all 1921 Peace $s High Relief coins? There's one website showing there are only 10 known. http://coinauctionshelp.com/peace-dollar-value/

    The mintage of 10 is for 1922. I'm not commenting on the accuracy of that statement (I'm not sure the number is known) but that chart isn't showing 10 1921s.

    Not always the case. I bought 3 proof dies P$ from there i picked up on from the pics. Coins received were coins pictured. oddly, in 1 case the same picture was left up as another available. So at some point they do have the coins pictured.

    I think that for some period(s) of time they just made it a practice to add that. Its of no benefit to the coin owner. Its like putting "Round" on the label to describe its shape.

    The obverse seems especially nice for MS-64. "Value" depends on the buyer's examination and factors not visible in the photos.

    I haven't read any on the comments in this thread.

    Based on the images of the P$1 in the OP that's got the kinda look we'd find in MS62 holders as PQ or MS63 slabs.

    As subdued as the luster is on that I just don't see it as a MS64, but times have changed... So what do I know?

    My error, need glasses. And I wish I hadn't searched Apmex....its advertisements shows up everywhere I go.
