1927-P Peace Dollar PCGS MS65

The First, But Not the Last, Sub-Million Mintage Year for Philadelphia Peace Dollars!

When the U.S. Mint ditched the initial high-relief style for the Peace Dollar and switched to a normal-relief style in 1922, everything was set for a production bonanza! Tens of millions of Peace Dollars flew out of the Philadelphia mint in 1922 and 1923. Then, production slowed to roughly about 10 million each in 1924 and 1925. In 1926, a plummet in production reduced that year’s mintage to almost two million - leading to the first sub-million year for Peace Dollars at the Philadelphia mint in 1927. According to U.S. mint statistics, only 848,000 Philadelphia Peace Dollars were produced that year -- the second-lowest annual Philadelphia Peace Dollar mintage ever. Close to a century later, the number of those that survived has been dramatically reduced. Everything from circulation use to improper storage to just plain melting for bullion has caused the majority of Peace Dollars to disappear, leaving only about 16% of originals behind today according to experts!
