1921 Peace Silver Dollar. High Relief. MS-67 (NGC).
A pleasing example of DeFrancisci's beautiful Peace dollar, the only issue struck in high relief for circulation. Boldly lustrous bright silver surfaces are fully untoned and brilliant. The centers are lightly struck, as always, this precipitating a change in the design the following year. Well preserved and with abundant eye appeal, this is certainly one of the nicest to come on the market in recent times. The only collectible High Relief issue of this design type, the 1921 is readily obtainable in lower Mint State grades, but is a noteworthy condition rarity with the quality offered here. Indeed, only eight examples certified by NGC have risen to the Superb Gem level, and just seven have been so graded by PCGS. It is clear that at the upper echelon of grades, the 1921 Peace dollar is quite rare, and NGC Set Registry collectors will most certainly be taking notice of this offering.
