Hello all, I have the opportunity to purchase a 1921 peace dollar, I have seen the price guide tables but am un able to find out the value if the coin has been cleaned in the past. Sorry no pictures available, but the coin itself is most likely au condition. Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.
pictures would awfully help~!!!! Minimum value for a real one is 22.28 dollars in silver melt. If its cleaned, its most likely worth melt. If you get the opportunity, get a better deal at 70-80 % melt.
$100 should be fair, maybe less. A couple of local dealers have told me these just aren't selling and therefore grey sheet is too high.

Even in marginal condition, $80-100 would make sense.
xGAJx, I would suggest more than 2 minutes research before answering questions on values. Photos would be mandatory in evaluating this one year type coin.
I don't think I've ever seen a 'high relief' go for melt. An AU, with a cleaning, is still going to command a premium. Certainly not as much as a problem free coin, but something way more than 'junk' or melt.......
Thank you for the prompt replies, I am a newbie to the coin world. I have only recently branched out from bullion collecting. The coin is halfway across the country from me, it belongs to a guy I grew up with. He's looking to get rid of a few coins he inherited many years ago, that I took a liking to when we were children. He contacted me and asked if I still wanted it after all these years later. Bottom line he wants 50 usd for the coin, it may or may not beep cleaned. So would 50 bucks be worth it or should I respectfully decline?
kind of a key date, so clearly above melt value no matter what. now , I have a 2000 F-150 that has never been cleaned ( EVER ! ). Wanna buy it for $2999 ?
That wasn't too smart! If you had listed it as......... L@@k! Totally Unsearched! .........you might have gotten some takers.
Your advice is starting to border on dangerous. Do you remember starting that thread asking about how to make money in coins? In light of recent threads, one answer would be "Don't take any advice from xGAJx." No, really... Stick to reading, learning, collecting, and possibly buying and selling for a modest profit. At least that way, if you do make a mistake, you aren't hurting anyone else. Please leave the advice giving to the more wise and knowledgeable forum members.
Does anybody understand when I said minimum value? I didnt know its price, so I evaluated its minimum value.God!
We understand that you didn't know anything about the numismatic value of this coin when you offered your advice.
You are still wrong since the minimum value in G4 far exceeds the melt value. Please! You shouldn't be offering advice to others until you know what you are talking about. Read and learn. Chris
It's ok to not know much. I would wager you know much more than me about US coins. However, you need to ask yourself why you are giving people advice. These are the usual two reasons people chime in on threads such as this: 1) They are trying to put a damper on someone's hope of a good buy. 2) They are generally trying to help them. If it's #1, then more power to you and keep on being that type of person. If it's #2, then I would hope it is clear to you that you don't have the knowledge necessary to help them. I just casually lurk the forums and it is clear you completely lack the information that can be useful. You often have a bad attitude too, but that is a separate issue. Just saying.
[FONT=&] Again, answering questions when you have no understanding or experience with the subject helps no one, including yourself. At the time of your above post, the OP had a post count of no more than two, so he probably does not know the deal with you. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that someone could take your claim of being a "dealer" or "coin specialist" at face value, assumes that you actually know what you're talking about, and somehow be hurt because of your insistence on spouting off uninformed assumptions as if they were fact. While this may be fun and games to you, it is not the same for everyone, especially when money is involved. When you ask us questions, would you appreciate it if we intentionally gave you wrong answers worded as fact? This is basically the same thing you are doing, so in the future; please put yourself in place of the, or any OP before answering. [/FONT] OP, [FONT=&] Even if cleaned, an otherwise undamaged AU 21 Peace for $50 would likely be a no lose buy, especially if you've had your eye on it since childhood. If you decide that you wish to sell, it should be quite easy to recoup the investment. Problem coin or not, this is a popular single-year type that sells well in all conditions.[/FONT]
