1921 Peace Silver Dollar. High Relief. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. Simply put, this is one of the most carefully preserved, attractively original High Relief Peace dollars that your cataloger (JLA) has ever had the privilege of presenting for auction. Satin to softly frosted surfaces exhibit an even overlay of delicate antique silver patina. Halos of iridescent champagne-pink flank the central design elements, a typical pattern of toning for undeniably original survivors of this issue. Striking detail is superior, as demanded by the assigned grade, with emerging to bold definition in the centers. Smooth in hand and virtually pristine, this exquisite upper end Gem will please even the most discerning Peace dollar enthusiast.<p>The only collectible High Relief issue of this design type, the 1921 is readily obtainable in lower Mint State grades, but is a noteworthy condition rarity with the quality and eye appeal offered here. Indeed, even most certified MS-66s in todays market are below average for the grade, especially when it comes to strike and luster quality. This is best represented by the impressively low (for the type) CAC population of 42 coins in MS-66/66+ and only two coins at the MS-67 level. These figures include examples certified by both PCGS and NGC. A remarkable strike and condition rarity that would serve as a highlight in any advanced Peace dollar set. PCGS# 7356. NGC ID: 2U4E. PCGS Population: 10; 7 finer (all MS-67).<p>CAC Population: 42; 2. The former total includes coins certified both MS-66 and MS-66+.
