PCGS Certifies Rare Transitional Peace Dollars From Former Mint Director's Estate
Five rare 1921 and 1922 proof and circulation strike Peace dollars that reflect historic transition changes in the original high-relief design of the series have been authenticated and graded by Professional Coin Grading Service. The coins exhibit different finishes and relief, including a previously unreported 1921 High Relief sandblasted and antiqued finish presentation specimen. For over 90 years the coins were under the numismatic market radar, owned by and later in the estate of Raymond T. Baker (1877 - 1935) who was United States Mint Director at the time the five Peace dollars were struck. "This is a fantastic group of 1921 and 1922 transitional coins, and is one of the most significant group of 20th century coins we've seen in a long time," said PCGS Co-Founder David Hall.
