Peace Dollar

The Peace Dollar is a silver coin minted in the United States from 1921 to 1935. It was introduced as a commemorative coin to symbolize the peaceful aftermath of World War I. The Peace Dollar features the profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse (front) side, and an eagle perched on a rock with an olive branch on the reverse (back) side. These coins are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, with a diameter of 38.1 mm and a weight of 26.73 grams.

The Peace Dollar differs from the earlier Morgan Dollar in terms of design and historical context. While the Morgan Dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, the Peace Dollar was produced exclusively from 1921 to 1935. The Peace Dollar features a more modern and symbolic design, reflecting the desire for peace after World War I, while the Morgan Dollar carries a classical Liberty head design. Additionally, the Peace Dollar has a lower mintage overall compared to the Morgan Dollar.

The value of Peace Dollars can vary depending on factors such as condition, mint mark, year of production, and rarity. Some Peace Dollars, particularly those in high grades or from years with low mintage numbers, can have higher numismatic value. For example, the 1928 Peace Dollar is considered a key date and is highly sought after by collectors. It's recommended to consult coin pricing guides or seek the assistance of reputable coin dealers or numismatic experts to determine the specific value of a Peace Dollar in your possession.
