1921 High Relief Peace Silver Dollar – First Year Key Date – Mint State (MS61) / Full Original Luster

Acquire the crown jewel of 20th-century American silver with this outstanding 1921 High Relief Peace Silver Dollar. Struck exclusively in December of 1921, this historic first-year issue represents Anthony de Francisci’s original, breathtaking High Relief design before the US Mint flattened the dies in 1922 for mass production.

Graded strictly as a solid Mint State 61 (MS61) by an experienced numismatic professional, this raw specimen is an exceptional survivor. Because these heavy silver coins were tossed into canvas bags at the Philadelphia Mint, the vast majority of 1921 dollars suffered from severe, deep bag marks, or were worn down flat in circulation. This coin retains its full, original mint luster, showcasing a beautiful, swirling cartwheel effect across both faces.

The obverse features a sharply defined, majestic portrait of Liberty, while the reverse displays the iconic bald eagle perched on a mountain peak, looking toward the dawn of peace. Minor, scattered contact marks are present—consistent with a strict MS61 grade—but the fields remain remarkably vibrant and completely free of any cleaning, artificial toning, or wiping. Avoid the steep third-party slab markup and secure this raw, dealer-guaranteed key date centerpiece today.
