sounds like a morgan dollar.

[dirt diver]

Hello, brinker here ....you found yourself a "peace dollar"....go look it up on ebay ...depending on the condition it's probably worth at least 18.00 or so. A gentleman on here was talking about one that his friend bought in a lot and got a 1928 peace dollar....it's a KEY DATE, it's worth good money!!( 475.00 ) in the red book. Great find in your '21 peace dollar!! HH...Lee.

 

[robbuckalew]

no, if it is the one i posted the pic of it is a morgan dollar
and I would have to see it to give a round about value

 

[dirt diver]

Rob,It's like yours.

 

[brinker52]

Sorry DD....if I had checked first , I would have seen your reply to the post....they made peace dollars from 1921-1935.....the dollar you have is a Morgan...the last year that they were made was 1921 ....I forgot that, and didn't realize that it could have been either....sorry for the misinformation..I'll do my homework first next time!!.HH..brinker52.

 

[robbuckalew]

depends on mint and grade

but i would say if you found it, probably worth between $13-$25 ... somewhere in there.
just a guess

 

[dirt diver]

that's funny i was just talking to a friend about these particular coins yesterday. he does bottle hunting and some years ago a guy he worked with was digging an out house site in Virginia city, NV and found i believe it was an 1886 Morgan and it was a Miss struck coin with the arrows missing from the eagles clutch. he ended up selling it to a private collector for $30,000 and found out a few years later that another gentleman back east found one in similar condition and it went for $630,000 at auction. I can't confirm the truth of this story but if it's true and you find one with the arrows missing hold on to it, it's probably worth big buckaroo's

x-terra, mine is different from the one you have posted. The one i have has a eagle with the wings spread and clutching arrows and the woman on the other side has a head band with liberty on it.

You should post some pictures of your morgan dollar when you get the chance.

[Fishstank]

Look at the U in TRUST. It looks like a V? Is that a miss mark? Or were they minted that way?

1921 is the change over year from the morgan design to peace dollar design dollar coin---and both styles were made dated 1921--- they are quite differant looking from one another thankfully and its easy to tell which is which .

theres not too many us coins of the same value amount that have diffearnt designs in the same year--normally the us mint runs the design to the end of one year and starts the new design the following year ---- the 1921 silver dollar morgan / peace design is one of those few exceptions

by the way the "v" looking letter "u" in trust is normal its not a missprint or anything "special" ---they just used the roman letter style "u" is all --(looks like a "v")
