Peace Dollars Bought for the Silver
Cull Peace Silver Dollars are genuine U.S. Mint silver dollars from the 1920s and 1930s, worn or damaged past the point where collectors pay for grade. Each one was struck with 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, and heavy wear takes off only a little of it. What you give up is looks, and what you keep is the silver and the history.
The Dollar That Marked the Peace
The Peace dollar was struck for circulation from 1921 to 1928 and again in 1934 and 1935. Anthony de Francisci won the design competition and modeled Liberty on his wife, Teresa, giving her a crown of rays and windswept hair, with LIBERTY across the top and IN GOD WE TRUST at the level of her neck. On the reverse, a bald eagle rests on a rock above the word PEACE, holding an olive branch, as the rays of a rising sun spread out behind it. Struck from 1921 to 1935, with a pause from 1929 to 1933.
What Cull Means Here
Cull is the bottom of the condition range. Expect heavy wear that flattens Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers, and expect some coins to carry scratches, rim dings, old cleaning or other damage. Dates and mint marks are our choice, based on what we have in stock, and cannot be requested. Our part in it: we do not dip or clean the coins we sell. We cannot speak for what an owner did before us, so cleaning may be present, but we have not added to it.
Why Buy a Cull
A cull Peace dollar costs less than a problem-free example because its collector premium is mostly gone. That makes it a way to stack 90% U.S. silver dollars while paying for little more than the silver. Priced near the silver, with nearly a century of history thrown in.

Peace Silver Dollar Cull FAQ
How much silver is in a cull Peace dollar?
0.7734 troy ounces when it was struck. Decades of wear rub off a small amount of metal, so a cull can weigh slightly under 26.73 grams, and the silver inside drops by the same small amount.
What kind of damage can a cull coin have?
Heavy wear on the high points, scratches, rim dings, old cleaning and other surface problems. Damage varies coin to coin, and the coin you receive may show more or less than the one in the photo.
Can I choose the date or mint mark?
No. Dates and mint marks ship at our choice from stock. No date requests on this listing, though any coin will be a Peace dollar dated between 1921 and 1935.
Did you clean these coins?
No. We do not dip or clean coins. Some culls were cleaned by earlier owners, and that is part of why they are culls. We sell them as found.
Are cull Peace dollars worth collecting?
They are bought mostly for their silver. A cull rarely carries a collector premium, so it is a stacking coin first and a collector’s coin second. Silver value first, history second.
