1921 Peace Dollar

The 1921 Peace Silver Dollar is one of the nicest examples of silver dollars the United States has minted and came about thanks to the Pittman Act of 1918, which melted millions or Morgan silver dollars in support of the British and American war effort during WWI. The coin was designed by Anthony de Francisci and the portrait of the liberty face on the 1921 Peace silver dollar was modeled after his wife.

The high relief style of the 1921 Peace Silver dollar allows it to stand out as one of the more unique designs for United States silver dollars. Even in the worst condition, the 1921 Peace silver dollar can carry a premium above the rest of the common silver dollars in the Peace series and, in much higher conditions on the coin grading scale of 1-70, the 1921 Peace silver dollar can be worth several hundred dollars.

If you are lucky enough to discover a 1921 Peace silver dollar that would grade at an MS-65 or higher, it could be worth one thousand dollars or more. Part of the reason for the rarity of the 1921 Peace silver dollar is the high relief minting of the coin. The United States mints moved away from this design in 1922 after merchants complained that the coins were difficult to stack, thereby making them difficult to count in an efficient manner when in the middle of a transaction.

So, although the high relief design of the 1921 Peace silver dollar added to the overall aesthetic beauty of the coin, the functionality of the coin made it difficult to work with. Another reason for the rarity of the 1921 Peace silver dollar was that minting of the 1921 Peace silver dollar didn’t begin until the executive order was signed, just after Christmas, 1921. Production officially began of the 1921 Peace silver dollar on December 28th, 1921, allowing just enough time over the next three days to produce close to a million specimens of the numismatic treasure that is the 1921 Peace silver dollar.

They took the time to help me sell my item and find an item. The staff does not rush you or pressure you into buying something. They take you on a little adventure by telling you about the items you are selling and looking at…

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Building had great security to helped me feel safe in handling my items.

Grateful for the Nevada Coin and Jewelry shop, I just adore it. I took some collectable figurines in and they bought them. I came out smelling like a rose. You should’ve been there to see the big smile on my face. I ran all the way home to look for some more. Can’t wait to get back! I can sure use the money!

As a first timer in selling, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not know what to expect and was a little worried about a previous reviewers comments. Yes the office was stark and clinical. The staff however, more than made up for any downfall in the decor. Very helpful, polite and understanding to any ‘silly’ questions that were asked. All in all a pleasant experience, and one that should the opportunity arise I would go through again!

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

Nevada Coin and Jewelry – has excellent customer service – providing las Vegas with top notch service and expertise – this is my primary coin dealers — others just can’t keep up – they are helpful and friendly – in my opinion they are the best in the south west area — so that’s my review a++++ rating – because I am a good customer – this is the best place to buy and sell gold and silver bullion.

Been living in Vegas for many years and never had to sell or hock any of my items unfortunately as luck would have it that day did eventually find me and let me tell you is it a tough racket to find a decent place out here to do business with. Pawn shops are a joke and could care less about their customers and treated me like another number. Tried and tried and place after place the numbers where all over the place. Finally decided to go to these guys and I’m glad I did. They tested each piece of my jewelry right in from of me with some kind of xray machine. They explained how they calculated the price and paid me cash on the spot. Avery was very helpful and didn’t mind answering my questions and explaining what they do. I left feeling I got the best price for my items. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their jewelry.

Christian M.

What friendly staff. They help you sell your items even if they don’t have a use for it by calling other shops around the area to see if they could use it… They want you to have the best out come from selling your items. I was so happy I decided to go to them!

B.J.

A.J. and Robert are so friendly and make it so you have the best deal with the items you bring them. They have so much knowledge about all the items they have in their shop and they like to teach others about what they know…

While vacationing in Las Vegas I did what a lot of people do I’m sure or at least that’s what I’m telling my wife ..I blew through the money I brought a little quicker than expected and I ended up having to shop my Rolex around to several dealers to save the trip. So I looked online for places, most offers over the phone were low and that’s if they would even quote me in the first place. I spoke to a guy at Nevada Coin and Jewelry who gave me a fair ball park price and a reasonable explanation as to why his number couldn’t be solid. Went down expecting to get the lower number and in fact Robert their Rolex expert said my Rolex was a better model then I had described. He paid me a higher number than he quoted. Thanks for saving my vacation guys.
