<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1376171, member: 30400&quot;]The Peace dollar is a stunning coin. I just love the design. After the Barber series and Morgan dollars...finally, Liberty is hot! &lt;jk&gt; Seriously, Eagle finally looks like a real bird.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem was in manufacturing, as a result of design. High points opposite one another. Metal flow sucked. High relief just wasn&#039;t working out. The &#039;21 was minted for just a few days before the end of the year and everyone panicked. It didn&#039;t strike well, it didn&#039;t stack well, dies were cracking right and left.</p><p><br /></p><p>Serious changes were needed quickly. Sadly, relief was adjusted, striking pressure reduced, and later years just didn&#039;t measure up. A shame.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few &#039;21&#039;s to celebrate the Peace dollar, introduced to celebrate victory in the war to end all wars. Yeah, right.</p><p>Lance.</p><p><br /></p><p>A 66, MS and XF</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Peace dollars/18079023.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Peace dollars/7737e76a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Peace dollars/a66f402f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Peace dollars/34c0861a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Peace dollars/c1ec8089.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Peace dollars/70ca8a36.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
