Message:: [QUOTE="kevinslack, post: 665121, member: 16554"]the 1921 was the frist year for the peace dollar is of high relief design. they were struck during the last three days of 1921.because of the high relief and rushed production, most coins of this date show a weak strike with detail lacking in the hair over the ear on the obverse and lack of detail on the wing feathers over the eagles right leg on reverse. this lackof high point detail should not be mistaken for coin wearhowever. a slightly circulated coin will show wear on he cheek and upper parts of the eagles wing. sliders are common for this date and a coin should always be carefully examined to determine if any wear exists. tilt the coin under a strong light to see if grayish areas or hairlines exist on the cheeks and eagle or inthe fields. its availability from the grading services in ms64-66 is just slightly under median. that is, it is neither very common nor very scare in these grades compared with other peace dollars. one minor variety shows slight doubling of peace, which the one im showing here does. it is a ms coin[/QUOTE]
