Stopped in the coin shop the other day and my guy says: "I got a couple of raw 1921 high relief peace dollars from a collection i just got if you want to see." I say "Oh hell yeah." Out of the four, two had hardly any luster left and excessive wear on the devices. The other two had luster but this one had the better looking devices and stronger luster. It looked like the group of coins had been together for years because the toning was similar on all of them. I am actually impressed with the amount of luster this coin has. The eagle on the reverse looks to have some wear like it has been circulated a little but I don't know for sure... Strike is a common issue with 1921 peace dollars. I have seen mint state examples with the eagles feathers looking flat in that spot on the lower breast so it is possible alot of the detail missing could be due to the strike. All in all I am glad to finally have one of these. The only thing that sucks is it has a small amount of some black residue top & center on the reverse... Maybe an acetone soak will break it up...
