At the end of World War I in 1918 the world tried to get back normal life. Europe was rebuilding, and America was heading into the roaring 20's. The Peace dollar was produced replacing the Morgan design in 1921. Like I had mentioned in a previous post the coin's designer Anthony de Francisci used his wife as the model for the Peace dollar's design producing one of the most beautiful coins the US has ever produced in my opinion.
This coin comes from some of my older collection of which I still have pictures on my laptop. I had shared a 1922 S previously but this is the Philadelphia production. A nice solid coin overall with the iconic beautiful design. There was a high relief version made of this coin as well in 1922 in a proof version, but only 35,401 were minted. A graded PR 65 could bring in close to $300,000 US, sadly I don't own one...
