Got this for AU $ today from a guy who bought it years ago from a little old lady. I can tell it's original and is probably unc. This year is hard to tell from the high relief design. This coin may also benefit from a dip or possible conservation, thoughts?   |

Don't dip or conserve it yourself. Wait for the pros to chime in. John1  |

Looks like the coin has already been dipped.

No it hasn't been dipped, it's my lighting, I was running out of daylight when I took the pics. I'll try for better pics tomorrow with better lighting

Value seems to be between $125 and $200 in the AU range. I don't think the retail value justifies slabbing other than ANACS for your own collection. I would leave it alone and put it in an Air-Tite. Ask the pros if you should do a quick dip in pure acetone before putting it in a holder.I have always wanted a 21 in my collection,maybe someday. John1 |

AU 55 maybe +, but a weaker strike.
I can't see the luster, but I would think that it is stronger than the pictures show.

Coincidentally I should be getting an old gen Anacs 1921 Peace dollar in the mail today graded 62. The price I paid for the 21 peace above was $120. I'm gonna get an opinion from my long term dealer and see if he will dip it correctly and see if it truly is mint state, as I said this date is hard to gauge cause of inconsistencies in luster, strike, etc. |

Agree mid-AU but those marks really detract.

I don't see any luster and it looks like a typically weakly struck up 1921 Peace. The eye appeal is below average with a technical grade of AU50 or so.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
