1927-P Peace Silver Dollar BU

Low-Mintage 1927-P Peace Dollar

In the short lifespan of the Peace Silver Dollar, struck from 1921 to 1928 and again from 1934 to 1945, only four mintages were below one million coins. The 1927-P is one of them, with just 848,000 struck. This particular coin comes to us in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, which we don't often have the pleasure to offer you. Plus, with the 100th anniversary of the Peace Silver Dollar occurring 2021, demand for this series is starting to sizzle!

Iconic "Peace" Design

The last silver dollar struck for circulation in 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. The design of the Peace Dollar is iconic – appropriate for such an important coin. Designed by 34-year-old Italian-American sculptor Anthony de Francisci, its obverse features the head of Lady Liberty wearing a crown of rays modeled after the design of the Statue of Liberty. The model for Lady Liberty was 23-year-old Teresa Cafarelli de Francisci, the young sculptor's wife. Imprinted on the coin's obverse are "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the year of issue. The reverse features an eagle at rest clutching an olive branch before a rising sun, along with the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the denomination "ONE DOLLAR."

It's estimated that only 16% of all Peace Dollars ever struck exist today in any condition. With so few available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition like this, we can't say how long this one will last. Hurry and secure it for your collection now.
