1921 Peace dollar in old ANACS small holder. Care to take a stab at this one? (Keep in mind this is a high relief coin with a below average strike). Good luck, will post the grade later..  The fine scratches on Liberty's cheek are on the holder. Poor strike but no contact marks otherwise.  Edited by Night-Hawk

XF45 unless there is luster we're not seeing, then maybe AU50.

 I'm really not that good at grading Peace dollars, but I'm not that bad. I had this at EF/ low AU. Wow. |

I was at AU-55. I can see quite a bit of luster, but would not have thought MS.

Good example of buy the coin not the holder and it's important to let collectors know that far better examples are available for MS63 money. A piece like that one is likely worth AU50 money in today's market because lustrous and attractive 1921 Peace dollars are out there. Don't buy pieces with carbon spots or very poor strikes, look for luster and eye appeal at a reasoanable price. Edited by BH1964

I'm fortunate to have collected several examples of these over the years ranging from brilliantly lustrous excellent strikes to soft strikes like this one. This is one of my favorites and will never part with her. Just wanted to show an example of the wide variety of strikes available on these 1921 dollars and grade does not always apply to bright white lustrous well-struck coins. |

I believe I love this coin. It personifies why they abandoned the High Relief design.

This is a shining example of why I dislike trying to grade raw Peace dollars. |
