<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2000933, member: 66"]The reason they didn't just hold of and wait until 1922 to start the Peacedollar was because the new coin was intended to commemorate the end of WWI and they wanted to begin striking in the same year the war ended. But delays kept the signing of the Peace Treaty that officially ended the war until mid-November 1921. The designing and approval of the Peace dollar was GREATLY rushed. Then the hubs had to be redone at the last minute and the final dies were not ready unto Dec 28th. they had just a few days to strike the coins and still be able to have them done in the same year as the Peace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
