I have only one Peace. I do like them though. Although not a high grade I assume, but this one has some wicked luster.

The Peace dollar is one of the ones i have a photograph of hanging on the wall

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peace Dollars have their own charm, even if they suffer from a design which was biting off more than the mint could do. When they first came out, the design was just to complex and the mint was lacking expereince in making dollar coins. A redesign reduced some of the high points and made a more consistant strike. Liberty's new Hair Style and even facial expression reflect the heighted sense of independence by American Women in the early 20th century. This a 20th Century women with little thought given to the classic look of coins like the Morgan Dollar.


These links are too a wonderful 1922 MS63 PCGS graded example.

This coin is one of my favorites, although it is actually owned my one of my daughters.

Here are the new addition Peace Dollars added to the Collection

1924 Peace Dollar - Purchased from Stacks. I noticed after the purchase that this coin would be a body bag coin because of the scratch on the tail. Beware when buying from Stacks. They will rip you off like this.

Here is a good short video to show the luster on this coin, which is quite remoarkable

high detail

 

De Francisci's wife was a babe..........

 

After looking at the 1921 Peace I kind of wish they all had the high relief strike. It gives the coin that extra eye appeal.

 

They had so much trouble minting it as it was. The high rleif would have been impossilbe

 

The dream... but it's just a restrike on 1924
