Why this coin matters

The 1921 Peace Dollar was struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a recorded mintage of 1,006,473 coins — the 5th-lowest of the 24 circulation-strike issues in the peace dollar series.

First-year issue struck in high relief starting December 28 1921 - the entire mintage came in the year's final days; the relief was lowered for 1922 onward.

A full collector's note for this issue — survival, strike character, and what to check before buying — is on the writing schedule; the figures above are the permanent record.
