1921 US Silver Peace Dollar High Relief MS63

Intended to commemorate the end of World War I (hence the name) the Peace Dollar was first minted in 1921 and was discontinued after 1935. It was the last Silver Dollar to be issued as currency, and contains 0.772 Troy Oz of silver (90% silver alloyed with 10% copper).

Roughly one million examples were struck before it was realized that the relief on the coin was so high that it was difficult to strike, and the dies used were breaking at a high rate. The relief was lowered starting with the 1922 issue, resulting in the High Relief 1921 Peace Dollar being both the First Year of Issue and the Only year for the Type.

Coin is graded MS-63 by PCGS.
