1922–1923-PDS Silver Peace Dollar 6-pc Set PCGS MS64

Complete Set Of 1922 & 1923 Peace Silver Dollars

The very first "Peace" Silver Dollar, so named for its introduction at the end of World War I, was a failure. Struck in 1921, its stunning high-relief design was notoriously difficult to strike. And so, soon after the calendar flipped over to 1922, the U.S. Mint re-designed the coin for a standard relief strike, and the rest is history. The last silver dollar struck for circulation in highly pure 90% fine silver, these coins celebrated our victory in World War I, became associated with speakeasies and big-screen gangsters, and were eventually rounded up and melted down. Today the Peace Dollar has become an unequivocal collector favorite.

The First Two Years Of "Standard Relief" Peace Dollars

Here you can secure a complete set of 1922 & 1923 Peace Silver Dollars struck at each mint that produced the coin in its second and third years of standard strikes–Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver ("D" mint mark), and San Francisco ("S" mint mark). That's six coins in all and each has been certified, graded, and encapsulated by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-64 (MS64) condition. That's a remarkable grade, especially when you consider that despite millions of Peace Silver Dollars being struck from 1921 to 1935, most were lost in circulation or melted down in mass silver meltings. In fact, coin experts believe that only 16% of all Peace Dollars remain in existence in ANY condition today!

Peace Dollars Are Rich In Symbolism

Designed by Italian-American sculptor Anthony De Francisci, these coins are rich in symbolism. They were struck to commemorate the peace following the end of World War I–the so-called War to End All Wars–and depict Lady Liberty wearing a crown of rays on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle holding the olive branches of peace, rather than the typical olive branches and arrows of war. These were THE coins of the Roaring '20s when gangsters, flappers, speakeasies, and silent films dominated the country's consciousness. It was also a time when one dollar was equivalent in purchasing power to about $14 today! Don't miss your chance to obtain these key-date, high-grade coins from this fabulous often-overlooked series!
