• Silver Content: Each coin contains .77344 ounces of silver, with a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper, providing both historical significance and intrinsic value.
• Certification: Graded MS62 by NGC, indicating this coin is in uncirculated condition with minor contact marks or hairlines but retains much of its original mint luster. An MS62 grade represents a well-preserved coin for circulation-era standards.
• Design:
  • Obverse: Features a radiant depiction of Liberty by Anthony de Francisci, with her hair in a bun and wearing a diadem of rays, symbolizing the dawn of peace. Inscriptions include “LIBERTY”, “IN GOD WE TRUST”, and the year of issue (ranging from 1921 to 1935).
  • Reverse: Displays an eagle perched on a rock, clutching an olive branch, symbolizing peace. Below the eagle is the word “PEACE”, with “ONE DOLLAR” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” around it. Mint marks can vary (D for Denver, S for San Francisco, or no mint mark for Philadelphia).
• Mint: These coins were minted at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints, with each mint’s output contributing to the series’ diversity in terms of mint marks and sometimes slight design variations.
• Condition: MS62 coins show signs of handling but are still considered uncirculated with good eye appeal.
• Packaging: Encased in an NGC protective holder, which also serves as a certificate of authenticity, detailing the coin’s grade, mint mark, and year.
• Historical Significance: The Peace Dollar series was minted to commemorate peace after World War I, making it a symbol of that era’s hope for lasting peace.
• Mintage: Mintage numbers vary by year and mint, but these coins are part of a series where some years are more common than others.
