Following the conclusion of World War I, there was groundswell of support throughout the American numismatic community for the minting of a new coin to commemorate the restoration of peace. Simultaneously, the passage of the Pittman Act of 1918 required the Treasury Department to produce millions of new silver dollars to replace the more than 270 million silver dollars that were melted and sold as bullion to the British immediately after the war. The silver dollar that was designed to accomplish both of these tasks has come to be known as the Peace Dollar.
Peace Dollars were minted from 1921 through 1928, and again from 1934 through 1935, in Philadelphia (no mintmark), San Francisco (“S” mintmark), and Denver (“D”). Each Peace Dollar is composed of .900 fine silver, yielding a total silver content of .77344 troy ounces per coin, and measures 38.1mm in diameter. To arrive at a design, the federal Commission of Fine Arts held a competition among some of the country’s greatest sculptors and medalists which was won by a young Italian immigrant named Anthony de Francisci whose submission was modeled upon his wife Teresa. The obverse of the Peace Dollar depicts the strong profile of a crowned Lady Liberty, facing left, hair flowing behind her. The reverse captures an American eagle at rest upon a rocky outcropping, peering at the sun through a pattern of its rays. The eagle stands upon a rock and upon that rock is written a single word: Peace.

This is the first time I order Peace Dollars from Provident. I was expecting culls with dates barely visible. I got clean coins that I would say are VF+. Will order more!!"

I added one of these, and one of the Morgan circulated, to my most recent order, and both were very nice quality especially for the price.
Our family does the white elephant/silly Santa gift exchange game at Christmas every year, and we are all running out of gift ideas. This year I'm going to give a handful of old circulated US silver coins including this circulated Peace dollar. I think someone will like them, and at least it's something different! Peace dollars are probably my favorite coin, with Mercury dimes a close second. Shipping was unbelievable fast!" |

Peace dollars are, in my opinion, the most beautiful silver coins minted by the United States. While they lack the historical clout of Morgan dollars, Peace dollars have much lower premium comparatively. So I'm very happy that Provident Metals was able to exceed my expectations when it came to purchasing Peace dollars, because these were in EXCELLENT condition. It's hard to believe that these are "average" circulated, since almost every single one I received were in the EF ~ AU range. Amazing!"

Coins are very nice for "average circulated condition". I buy primarily for silver content but coins like this sell much higher locally in the hobby shops. Buy with confidence, this is super company to do business with."
