I took it out of the flip & added a few more photos. Sorry about the bad pictures, I can't seem to get the camera lens from creating a shadow. I use a cheap camera and take most my pics using only daylight. Cloudy days don't work, needs to be sunlight. Any lightbulb I have used leaves bad pics. A good coin picture is a hobby in it's self. You really need good, or decent pics to get a good grade here, hard to guess from bad pics. Yea, I'm guilty of posting a lot of bad pics here myself... it's a work in progress. |

I'd like to see better pics, but this appears to be high AU. Definitely not a proof.

Looks like a sightly circulated example of a non-proof coin from the photos. AU53-55 would be my guess from these photos.

Please let me know if these last pics are an improvement? Took in natural light.

Thanks for the known proof. But this one is hard to see any details of what makes it - from these pictures. Can you edumacate me?
If you click on my horrible blue (sorry) pics, you can see all the hallmark signs that is proof worthy. Lines in between the neck and E in WE, In God We, lines surrounding OF on top of reverse, raised large mark next to TRVST.

Look at the hair of liberty and the plumage of the eagle. Significantly weaker strike than what you would expect from a proof. Also why is your coin so bagmarked? How would a proof coin with a production run of 10-15 coins end up in a bag of 1,000 silver dollars? Does the coin appear to have a sandblast or satin matte finish? Why does your coin appear to have the business strike white frost surface? David Hall: High Relief 1921 Peace dollars were difficult to strike properly with one blow of the coining press. Nearly all known specimens are lightly struck on the hair at the center of the obverse and often at the center of the reverse as well. In fact, fewer than 10 1921 Peace dollars out of 1,000 are very sharply struck. As the PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc., certification services do not insist upon sharp strike as a pre-requisite to high grade, chances are excellent that a certified MS-63, 64, or 65 coin may be weakly struck, at least on the obverse. Often, a high-grade 1921 Peace dollar will show a subdued white frost in the areas oflight striking on the obverse; this represents the surface of the original planchet. |

Gonna have to side with NS on this one: not a proof. But if it floats your boat or you're still uncertain, just send it into NGC as a proof.
That should put the matter to rest.

Looks like an AU slider to me. Not worth sending to TPG in my opinion. |

Let's not encourage the OP. This is clearly not a proof, and (I think) clearly not even uncirculated.
