One of the FINEST examples known of this important KEY date! While a key date in all grades, it is also a major condition rarity! Boasting a brilliant, snow white luster, surfaces are exquisite and offer virtual perfection in preservation. Not even the tiniest ticks can be found to distract the eye, and the luster is full and fresh. Mintages tailed off in 1921 as the economy in America slipped back a few notches adjusting from the war footing required for WWI, to the peacetime economy once again. Thus demand was curtailed for new coins in this period, and key dates were forthcoming in 1921. Only 1,080,000 were struck in the Denver Mint, the second lowest of the series after the key 1916-D. However, the 1921-D coins entered circulation with little fanfare, as these were not the first of their kind like the 1916-D. Hence few were saved, and GEMS are sparse today. This is borne out in the Census of NGC and the Population Report of PCGS -- there simply aren’t many high grade survivors and the present coin is tied with just one other at this grade as the FINEST KNOWN of the date and mint. As such this sparkling 1921-D is destined for an advanced NGC Registry collection and will no doubt be one of the highlights of any advanced collection. A powerful and memorable example of this prized date and mint. PCGS 1, NGC 2. None are finer. The only appearances at auction for a MS67 FB was in April 2011 where one realized $24,150. This is an example of the finest caliber and worthy of a record bid from the most advanced of collectors! Cert. Number 695389-014 PCGS # 4937
