<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2664158, member: 4781&quot;]The high relief is hard enough to strike as it is. Add to that the fact that I&#039;m over-striking existing Peace Dollars and it becomes doubly difficult. And the reverse relief height is twice that of the original &quot;high relief&quot; 1921 Peace Dollars. The obverse die contours were modeled after a 1921 &quot;high relief&quot; Peace Dollar coin. The central hair detail is the last thing to strike up completely. The slightly matte texture in the obverse center tends to hide the detail somewhat. The &quot;bulk-handled&quot; version which has some light abrasions across the higher areas tens to show the central hair detail differently because of the contrast between the highest points (shiny) and the lower areas (satin).</p><p><img src="http://www.dc-coin.com/images/products/detail/mm_peace_1917_bh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The two-oz silver round version has exactly the same central obverse contours as the over-strike. But it strikes better due to the thicker and softer planchets:</p><p><img src="http://www.dc-coin.com/images/products/detail/ht_ww1_2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
