• First Year of Issue

Historic First-Year Design

The 1921 Peace Dollar was the first year the series was issued, replacing the Morgan Dollar. It also holds a special distinction in U.S. numismatic history.

Peace Dollars were the last silver dollars produced by the United States primarily for circulation and commerce.

Unique High-Relief Strike

The 1921 issue is the only Peace Dollar struck in high relief with the intention of circulation.

High relief means the design elements are deeply struck and highly sculpted, giving the coin remarkable dimensionality. Lady Liberty’s radiant crown and flowing hair rise dramatically above the field, while the reverse eagle appears boldly perched on a rock with rays of sunlight behind it.

Because this high-relief design proved difficult to strike efficiently, the Mint lowered the relief in 1922, making the 1921 High Relief Peace Dollar a one-year type and highly collectible.

High-grade certified examples remain in strong demand among collectors due to the coin’s historic importance, artistic beauty, and limited high-grade population.
