    But are they hard to find, Roger? It doesn't seem so. Like a lot of new issues, many must have been hoarded. 1909-S VDB is another example.

    Aren't there plenty in MS? Not so many to make them inexpensive. But enough so that anyone with enough money can easily buy one?

    Wonderful records. Thanks for sharing your research!

    Thanks Roger! Folks should pay attention to this line:

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    There are plenty of Mint State 1921 Peace Dollars out there, but finding a very nice quality piece with great eye appeal can be more difficult than one would think.

    Which is why we need to do what Japan did and get rid of paper money under $10 to force the circulation of coins. image

    Oh that means we need a $5 coin too. image

    If you consider MS-63 and 64 to be "nice uncirculated" I've never found that the 1921 Peace Dollar was hard to find. You can go into most any major show and see a number of them.

    Now if you are looking for "fully struck" with all the detail, that's another matter. I'd love to find one with all of the deal strong and true. I've seen pictures of pieces that collectors have posted that were only graded MS-62, and yet the coin had all of the detail. I'd love to find one of those, but I've never been that lucky.

    Would this one qualify? It's not fully struck, but it is Choice Mint State.
