Scott Gardener's Disturbing the Peace Set 的钱币相册
I really expected this coin to grade higher, on the order of MS62 or 63. It has a much better strike than most 1921 Peace dollars, with good hair definition around the ear.

This piece represents the first common date Peace dollar, very abundant and in a grade that is easily purchased raw, even as silver prices are climbing these days.
Great luster more than makes up for scratchy surfaces, giving this coin amazing eye appeal.
For my side project, of affordable but carefully picked Peace Dollars. This coin has a very clean and flashy obverse with superior eye appeal. The reverse looks splotchy on the scan, but in person exhibits subtle reddish tonning over the "splotches," and a soft blue over the base and the word "Peace." This piece raises the bar on my future work on this set.
A nice, crisp coin that looks better in person than on my scanner. Lady Liberty has a die crack running across her fronto-parietal head, drawing a line through her crown of rays. This does not distract, but instead adds interest, to a clean white surface.
Replaced a coin that failed to grade, improving the already finished side project set
A lot can happen in six years. Between the end of the first run of Peace dollars in 1928 to its brief encore starting in 1934, the world had overnight become a different place. The prosperity of the Coolidge years had given way to the Great Depression, an economic catastrophe that dwarfs our recent events.
A condition rarity in higher grades, this VF example appears weary and pitted, very much as the ideal of Peace must have felt at the time of its minting, the dark period of the Great Depression and the dawn of the greatest terrors ever to face Europe.
By this point in history, the yearning for Peace would soon give way to the call for Victory.
