For the same reason there was a small gap in the minting of quarters: The Great Depression.
Yes, this was the last of minting for Peace silver dollars.
The original weight at minting was 26.73 grams. Of course a circulated coin will weigh slightly less.
Yes, yes I can. In 1878 the United States Mint first started minting the Morgan Dollar series which continued on until 1921 when it was replaced by the Peace Dollar. Below is a link to a photograph of an 1878 Uncirculated Morgan Dollar.
Unless the coin has a minting error, it's just face value--one dollar. The most common minting error is missing edge inscriptions on the George Washington dollar.
I've watched the commercial many times and everyone says its "Peace love and gap" but it definatly sounds like "Peace love the gap", so im gonna say that it's "Peace love the gap"
peace. love. GAP.
The artist Common sings the Peace, Love and Gap song in the Gap commercial.
No. The US dollar coin production was suspended after the 1935 minting year ended and did not resume until 1971 with the introduction of the Eisenhower Dollar.
Now that depends entirely on the dollar coin. A Sacagawea coin is worth $1. Any coin really that has been minted in the past decade or two is worth $1. Eisenhower dollars will vary a bit by year of minting and grading. Morgan, Liberty or Peace dollars will also vary depending on year of minting and grading. Be specific when you ask: denomination, type, mint year, mint location, and grade.

The is no 1921S Peace dollar; Peace dollars were not produced in San Francisco ("S" mintmark) in 1921. If your 1921 dollar coin is a Peace dollar, it was produced in Philadelphia and has no mintmark; if it has an "S" mintmark, it is a Morgan dollar produced in San Francisco).
There were several pauses in the dollar coin mintages. The first gap was from 1804 until restarted in 1836. The second one was a gap in the Morgan dollar years, from Morgan dollars released in 1904 until they were re-minted again in 1921. The next gap was from the last Peace dollar released in 1935 until the next dollar coin released for circulation, the Eisenhower dollar in 1971, and the most recent gap was the Susan B. Anthony gap with coins minted in 1981 (though even 1981 coins were collector only coins) and the next Susan B. Anthony coins wouldn't be minted until 1999 when demand resurfaced. Since 1999, dollar coins have been produced on an annual basis, introducing the Sacajawea dollar and the Presidential dollars.
