    I recently started collecting peace dollars. I just got this 1921 and after hearing about alot of fakes wanted to hear what everyone thinks of this one. Real or fake? Thanks.

    Looks OK to me. Where'd you buy it OP?

    I bought it off ebay. Seller had good reviews but not many. It's the most I've spent on a coin as I am new to this so I just got a little worried after seeing a few fakes.

    If new, insist on buying raw, and asking only after purchase, you would be wise to invest some quality time into learning. There's a lot of good info available, both free online and paid (books, etc), to make good use of.

    As for the coin in question, perhaps use it as an opportunity to familiarize yourself with one aspect of your new interest. With some honest effort, you likely be able to answer this one on your own. Welcome to the forum.

    Welcome to CT. And IMHO, Peace Dollars are awesome.

    Have you weighed the coin and tried the magnet test?

    I did weigh it. Weight was good and after looking at what booksb4coins posted I think it's real.

    One more tip for you. I think you did fine with this coin, but especially when buying raw coins, you may want to focus your buying on non-key coins until you're more comfortable about what to look for.
