nice
gosh it would be nice if more years were high-relief like this. my fav design, probably in no small part because it is called a "peace" dollar but those cheecks do remind me of a chipmunk stocking up for the winter

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
Thank you for sharing.

<< <i>Like the strike, especially the reverse. Those tail feathers are insane. Not in love with the toning, though. >>
I'm admiring the strike and didn't notice toning.
Love the toning and strike!

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
A couple of years ago I sold the just-graded/last-graded 1921 Peace $1 MS67 PCGS (pop 7/0) to another Forum member. The strike on the OP's piece is as good or better
Cudos to IoannisD for correctly recognizing and attributing the VAM-1H variety, struck using Satin Proof Dies.
Colonel Jessup, Thanks very much for your heads-up strike comparison of this coin vs the 1921 PCGS-67 Peace Dollar your formerly owned. -- That's very high praise!

Aside from a couple of Proof examples, you're right. That's a great strike !

I did some research using the "A Guide Book of Peace Dollars" by Roger W Burdette. He mentions that 1921 Peace dollars fall into two broad categories.
1. Coins struck from relatively fresh dies and made during the first day or two of production. They are generally well struck with AU-58 specimens exhibiting more detail and definition than a MS-65 piece produced from later dies. They have smoother surfaces with limited luster, generally lacking the "cartwheel effect" preferred by collectors.
2. Coins struck from overused dies during the latter part of production. After finding die life was poor, it was decided to run the dies longer at lower pressures in the presses, resulting in better luster, but less sharpness and detail.
The book also provides production data
(1) first two days 200,103
(2) last two days 806,370
I would guess the coin in the photo was produced during the first day, December 28, 1921. It has a birthday coming up. Throw it a party.
our most beautiful coin. And your image really does it justice.
Thanks for posting.
