1921 Peace Silver Dollar – Lamination Obverse – ANACS EF40
Own a historic first-year Peace Dollar with this 1921 Peace Silver Dollar, certified ANACS EF40, featuring a lamination on the obverse. The 1921 issue is one of the most important coins in the Peace Dollar series as the first year of issue and the only regular-issue Peace Dollar struck in High Relief. A total of just 1,006,473 examples were produced at the Philadelphia Mint.
Graded Extremely Fine 40 (EF40) by ANACS, this coin displays moderate circulation wear while retaining strong overall design detail. The EF40 grade offers an attractive balance of preservation and affordability, while the documented obverse lamination adds additional interest for collectors of mint-made errors and planchet varieties.
Lamination errors occur when a portion of the metal separates or flakes along a weakness in the planchet. On this example, the obverse lamination provides a distinctive characteristic that sets the coin apart from a typical 1921 Peace Dollar.
The 1921 Peace Dollar was struck in High Relief, creating one of the boldest and most artistic designs in the series. The high-relief format also presented significant challenges for the Mint, with many examples showing softness in the central design details.
Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the obverse features Liberty wearing a radiant crown, while the reverse depicts an eagle perched on a rock with an olive branch and the word PEACE below. The design was created to symbolize the nation's hope for peace following World War I.
Struck in 90% silver, the 1921 Peace Dollar weighs 26.73 grams and contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver.
This 1921 Peace Dollar ANACS EF40 with an obverse lamination combines first-year significance, the one-year High Relief design, classic American artistry, and an interesting mint-made error. It would make a distinctive addition to a Peace Dollar, error, or classic U.S. coin collection.
