You are right wheatchaser, I looked on ebay and there are tons of them problem free. I dont really need it, but the guy was selling it and I thought the price was pretty cheap. I didnt know you could get them uncleaned for that price. I have 2 but they are heavily toned. One is black. But it looks like it is a high 63-64. Do you think it would still be desirable if I chose to sell it in the future? A high relief, high grade black Peace dollar? |

I was pretty sure they melted all the 1922's except for a handful of proofs. Or did you mean something else?

I think John is alluding to the few high relief specimen strikes known.
This one looks AU details, polished. I'd value it $50-$70.

I'm working on a set of very dark toned Peace dollars. PM me if you would consider selling or swapping your '21. |

It's a pretty good strike and about an AU. I'd hold out for one with better details. Wait for a sharp AU. Mint state is no guarantee of sharp detail, and carries a big premium. This will give you an idea - OK, but not nearly as sharp as my 1925 avatar. Every once in a while I see a better 1921 on ebay, usually in the $1000 range, but nothing right now.

Mysliveryears, I have no prob swapping it. If you collect black Peace dollars you will love this lol. I can spray paint a few for you, just tell me the years you need. I found a few more while digging last night. Pics on the way |

I put the better ones in an album. The rest are doubles of these years. Some triple. And of course, a bunch that are circulated.   |

That's a lovely album you have going! I don't know why *some* collectors consider this series to be second class coins. Most of my dark ones are from the pre-1926 years and have been picked from 'junk silver' sources. The toning varies a lot on these, and seldom is it consistent on both sides. PM me and we can discuss swapping. I don't want to clutter your thread with personal stuff. And do skip the spray paint pleeze... the other 'ladies' in my set would be hollering 'imposter'.  |

Ant, have you gotten pics of the dark Peace dollar yet? Quote:
I don't know why *some* collectors consider this series to be second class coins. I know, I always liked the design on the Peace dollar better anyway. ("Blasphemy!" I can already hear it...) Peace dollars were unpopular since they rolled out of the Mint. They never really ended up surpassing the Morgan in popularity. It is kind of great that they are an underrated series, you can get uncirculated ones for cheap. I was planning on taking advantage of this and buying a certified common date Peace in the 62-64 range. I doubt I'll pay more than $40. That's a beautiful set, Ant. Is the second page complete?
