The 1921 Pilgrim half dollar is somewhat of an enigma, as 1921 represents the 301st anniversary of the landing of Pilgrims in what is now known as Plymouth, Massachusetts. In 1921 there were still thousands of 1920 Tercentenary half dollars undistributed. However, it was thought that collectors would provide a market for a new issue of small mintage, and they did. Even so, the vast majority of these coins are confined to lower Mint State grades of MS-64 and lower. In Superb Gem, as here, this issue remains a considerable challenge for advanced collectors.
When Examining a 1921 Pilgrim, Look for Wear on the Crow's Nest and on the Cheek Bone on the Obverse as these are the High Points. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin
