Are my eyes getting worse or are your images looking softer?
It's really evident in the image of the holder.

Nice coin, but the plastic tabs are a major distraction for me….but, I’m easily distracted.

It must be something with the new D60 I'm using Ray.

Love your toning.

Images are what fuels the Boards, but I think in our justified excitement to see images, we often ignore the fact that the coins really have a lot more pop in hand than we (well, except for Mark and a couiple others) can see on our monitors. In the case of this coin, I think the originality would be superb and really carry the coin in the eyes of a collector. Perhaps the toning isn't for everyone, but I look at this and see the same type of toning I've witnessed on many Peace specimens. With this being a nice date and condition, I think it has the whole package.
Nice piece . . . . .

I am a little surprised it is in a new NGC holder. I've submitted a number of Peace dollars to NGC recently and they've been bodybagged for 'staining,' which I inferred refers to spots like the one on your coin under 'TRVST.' This was new to me -- I've had plenty of coins slab with those spots before, and I've seen plenty of spectacular examples on this board -- and I fear that this trend will lead to a new wave of unnecessary 'conservation.' Perhaps that's the idea.
Here is my '21 Peace (NGC MS63)....

Roger, I recognize this coin from the new Peace Dollar book. Is it considered a first strike or a Proof? It is, I think, the only one I have seen with full rounded date as well as full hair detail.
You’re right, I used the photos for the 1921 subsection in the Peace dollar book. It appears to be an early strike from new dies and was likely part of the 100,000 made on December 28, 1921. (It is, however, not as early as the deFrancisci sample pieces in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.)
The strike is nice and nearly full (compared to the bronze cast and sandblast proofs) although I’d liked to have seen the thin horizontal hair strand (just right of the eye) better defined and the hair mass over the ear more fully rounded. The reverse has good overall definition with rounded lettering and clean feather detail.
I grade it AU and will leave the points to those who handicap such things.
