Lot 1051 - 1921 Peace Dollar PCGS MS66
1921 Peace Dollar. Baking bright white luster on satiny surfaces. A touch of weakness is seen at the central hair and eagle's shoulder on the reverse, but here it is probably that the dies were spaced just far enough apart to prevent stronger metal flow in that area due to the high relief of the design.

A beautiful example of Anthony De Francisci's new Peace design and the only date available in high relief. George T. Morgan, Mint Engraver at the time and whose own design had been displaced by De Francisci's, lowered the relief of the electroplate model <I>by hammering it with a flat board! </I>The subsequent lower relief was used for the remaining less trend-setting issues of Peace Dollars, 1922 to 1935.
