1921 Peace One Dollar MS High Relief Values
Details
The 1921 Peace Dollar is a very important issue as it is a first year, one year type coin and is also struck in high relief. It is one of the most scarce Peace Dollars, as the mintage is relatively lower. Scarce in all grades up to gems, which are very scarce, and the finest of such being notable rarities. Luster and toning is of very high quality; although striking can become a major problem for this issue.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $58.22
Obverse: Portrait of a crowned Liberty featuring the word LIBERTY at the top periphery. The motto IN GOD WE left of Liberty's neck and TRUST to the right. The date in centered at the bottom.
Reverse: Perched eagle standing on a rock facing the right with UNITED STATES oF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM at the top periphery. The denomination of ONE DOLLAR left and right of the eagle's tail and the word PEACE at the bottom. Mintmark, if any, appears below the word ONE on the left side.
