The 1921 Peace Dollar MS-64+ PCGS (CAC) is one of the most significant coins in American numismatics, marking the first year of the Peace Dollar series issued by the United States Mint. The Peace Dollar was introduced to celebrate peace following World War I, making this coin both historically meaningful and highly collectible.
Struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, the coin contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. The 1921 issue is especially notable for its High Relief design, which features bold, sculpted details that give the coin a more dramatic appearance than the lower-relief design used beginning in 1922.
This example is graded MS-64+ (Mint State 64 Plus) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), indicating a coin that is at the high end of the MS-64 grade with superior eye appeal. It also carries the coveted CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation) approval, confirming that the coin meets strict standards for quality within its assigned grade.
The obverse features the elegant Lady Liberty portrait designed by Anthony de Francisci, symbolizing freedom and optimism for the future. The reverse depicts a majestic bald eagle perched on a rock with the word “PEACE”, representing stability and hope after the war.
With its first-year High Relief design, premium MS-64+ grade, PCGS certification, and CAC approval, the 1921 Peace Dollar stands as a highly desirable coin for serious collectors and investors seeking exceptional quality classic U.S. silver coinage.
