Peace Silver Dollar Coin – VG

The Last Circulating Silver Dollar

This is a genuine US Peace silver dollar, the last circulating silver dollar the United States made for everyday commerce. It holds 0.7734 troy ounces of 90 percent silver, it grades Very Good, and it sells for close to the value of that silver.

 

Made to Mark the Peace

The Peace dollar was struck from 1921 to 1935, to mark the end of the First World War and to turn Treasury silver into coin. Anthony de Francisci designed it and used his wife Teresa as the model for Liberty, her head crowned with rays like the Statue of Liberty. The reverse sets a bald eagle at rest on a crag above the word PEACE, the only word of its kind on any circulating US coin. IN GOD WE TRVST crosses the obverse with the classical Roman V.

 

What VG Means, and What Varies

Very Good is a coin that is evenly worn, fully readable. The high points, Liberty’s cheek and hair and the eagle’s feathers, are smoothed flat, while LIBERTY, the motto, the date and PEACE all stay clear. It is a circulated grade, not a damage grade: no rim dings or scrapes are implied, just years of honest use.

 

You get common dates from stock, in the 1922 to 1926 and 1934 to 1935 range. There is no 1921 high relief coin, no key dates, and no date or mintmark selection.

 

We do not clean or dip the coins we sell. A VG Peace dollar looks like a coin that spent years moving through hands, because that is what it is, and we leave it as it came to us.

 

Why Buy One

Under the wear it is still 90 percent silver, 0.7734 troy ounces of it, in a full-size US dollar that a dealer will take by the coin or by the roll. It is close to the cheapest way into genuine circulated US silver dollars, it fits standard 38 mm silver dollar tubes, and it carries a design and a story that a modern round does not.

 

Specifications

The coin measures 38.1 mm across and about 3.1 mm thick, with a reeded edge, and weighs 26.73 grams at 90 percent silver, for 0.7734 troy ounces of silver content. The date is random within our stock range and the grade is VG. Full details are on the Specifications tab.

 

VG Peace Dollar FAQ

 

What does VG condition mean for this coin?

Very Good: heavy but even circulation wear, with the high points worn smooth and every legend, the date and the word PEACE still readable. It is not a damaged or cleaned coin.

 

Which dates will I receive?

A common date pulled from our stock, in the 1922 to 1926 and 1934 to 1935 range. No 1921 high relief coins, no key dates, and no date or mint selection.

 

Why is the motto spelled TRVST?

The Mint used the classical Roman V in place of the U in IN GOD WE TRVST on the Peace dollar. It appears that way on every coin in the series, and it is not an error.

 

How much silver is in a Peace dollar?

About 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. The whole coin weighs 26.73 grams and is 90 percent silver with 10 percent copper, the same alloy and weight as a Morgan dollar.

 

Do you clean or dip these coins?

No. We sell them as they reach us. Some circulated coins were cleaned by a past owner, which we cannot always tell, but we do not do it.
