Today I purchased this 1921 Peace Dollar (VAM-1H) struck from same dies used to make the Satin Proofs. -- Strike is Bold to Strong.

    Great coin! The "Peace" on the reverse is how this series should have looked. In fact, the whole coin, in my opinion, is how they should have been minted in business strike. I've never really understood why the relief was so flat. Great pickup.
    HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

    GREAT Specimen. Almost as good as owning a proof 1921.

    Cool coin.

    The proof 63 of this coin, $30000, this coin $300. Not almost the same as far as I can tell! image

    The eagle looks like it's about the step right off the coin. What a great strike.

    If they could have maintained that quality of strike with the 1921's there would have been no need for changes.

    Assuming that's market price for a Satin Proof, I have no idea from where the number is reported. What are the data points?

    NGC several years ago decided they would no longer authenticate 21 Peace's based on "satin" dies. The NGC pop has remained at the same number since then and their diminished status, combined with very few appearances, has made pricing highly problematic.
