1921 Peace Dollar New Purchase input

I’d be curious to know what people think about this ‘21 Peace. It is not mine, nor will it be in the future. I’d put it as AU details cleaned. Lots of fine lines in front of her face.

I think you're right, but I'm not sure whether it was circulated before it was wiped. The ear and the eagle's right wing are the areas that come up flat when there's a weak strike, and I'm on the fence about whether there's wear on Liberty's cheek and the eagle's head. I'd like to think I could tell if I had the coin in hand.

Always sad to see a nice example that's been mistreated.

 

I agree completely. AU details. Harshly cleaned.

Looks like it was cleaned with an abrasive to make it look as if it were MS. Possibly whizzed, or Dremeled.

 

@Morgandude11 got it right in my opinion. Still a nice-looking coin. Thanks for posting it.

 

100% cleaned.

 

I've been looking for a 1921 Peace Dollar for a while to match up with my 2021 Peace Dollar. My first glance of the 1921 Peace Dollar told me of two things. If it was real, it would cost a butt load of money to get it. My other though was that the coin had been cleaned. It's sad what people will do to cheat someone. If anyone knows of a 1921 Peace Dollar for sale that is listed at a reasonable price, let me know. As far as matching years... I got the 2021 D Morgan and the 2021 S Morgan as well. Luckily, I already have the 1921 D & 1921 S. I would like to pair them up in some type of display, preferably wooden.

 

Well, I'll say this: if you want to find a 1921 Peace dollar that's a good condition match for your 2021, your best bet is to spend a while carrying your 2021 as a pocket piece. That, or take out another mortgage; the highest known 1921 is MS67, I think, and is a six-figure coin.

 

The ‘21 Peace dollar arrived today and it is about what I expected. Certainly cleaned at some point as evidenced by the clear hairlines. It’s a shame someone would have cleaned such a coin…oh well, I guess 100 years is plenty of opportunity for people to make the wrong decision. Anyhow, here are a couple photos I took. Not the easiest coin to photograph and I’m a bit limited by my iPhone’s auto color correction.

 

Thanks for getting back to us so quickly with photos. There is a fair amount of remaining luster, but the hairlines are apparent and whatever original "skin" it had is long gone. YOu going to send it back?

 

Nice strike for the year too bad it has been cleaned. AU Details thanks for sharing.

 

I take back the whizzed comment, Thanks for the better photos,
If it were me that would be on it's way back to the dealer with a full refund, It looks nothing like the coin represented in the sale.

 

If it were me I'd return it if the cleaning wasn't disclosed in the listing. But, if the cleaning or even just "hairlines" was mentioned, i would have to keep it. That's just me, though.

 

I've got a few questions or notes that I have found in some of my searching for a 1921 Morgan. Mount Vernon had some that ranged in prices from about $300 to $400 Raw. I did a search on ebay and noticed that there were some 1921's listed, some Raw and some graded. They are listed by APMEX. Now, I've never had any dealings with APMEX, although I have looked at their web page. They had a Raw 1921 for about $50. That's the lowest I've seen a 1921 Peace. There is free shipping but no returns. There was another one they listed that was "certified" by PCGS, MS64.
With that information, how reputable is APMEX? I wasn't happy about the "no return" policy. I probably should have checked with you folks first, but I bought both of them. I don't usually throw away $250 for coins sold by ebay, but, I'm just holding my breath that the coins are legit. If they aren't, I don't show my coins to anyone and my wife has no clue about coin collecting. This was my "shot in the dark."
