Post Your Best Struck 1921 Peace Dollar?

I often see High Relief 1921 Peace dollars with mushy strikes, but every once in a while I come across one with a better strike...but not perfect.

Does anyone have one better than this?

I hope I didn't express myself incorrectly. I'm not trying to show off this coin...I don't even own this coin (not yet, anyway). I'm just using it as an example of a better struck 1921 Peace dollar.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen (or has) a better struck one...one with complete hair detail over the ear.

I imagine if such a coin exists, it must be worth quite a bit of money!

Update: I didn't get this coin. It sold for $741.

 

I've got one but I'm not too sure how well struck it is. It is fairly decent but certainly not well-struck. The details, especially on the reverse, are still a bit mushy although it looks better in hand.

Oh well, I got it for $25 so I'm not complaining

 

That one's got mine beat for sure, and I thought mine was hammered (by 1921 standards)...

 

According to "Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1912" by Roger W. Burdette,
the hubbing process of the 1921 Peace Dollar didn't begin until after the 23rd of December. All 1,006,473 pieces were struck in just four (4) days (28th - 31st 1921).

There was no time for test strikes. Due to die breakage, the strike pressure was modified throughout the coinage process to get the best results without destroying the available dies...which accounts for the variation of strike.

I suspect there are some really good strikes out there, but they are likely quite rare.

I still use my flat scanner, it's great for doing "at home deposits"

 

Yes...very well struck! I especially like the detail in the Eagle's neck feathers on well struck examples. I just don't see these very often...thanks!

I sometimes wish TPGs offered separate grades for Condition, Strike, and Luster.

 

I knew that was a thing, but I didn't know you could use it to deposit coins. I'll have to look into this...

 

You'll need the special "Coin Star" scanner. I just deposited a couple of type 1 $20 gold because they didn't have a "bean"

 

I only have the one:

 

An AU58, better struck than average I think, but not hammered.

 

Sold the only one I had. Typical soft strike. I’d love to find one with a really nailed strike myself

 

Oh, nice, and a toner to boot!
