Peace Dollars (1921-1935)
Mint Location: Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco
Designer: Anthony de Francisci
Composition: 90% silver; 10% copper
Edge Type: Reeded
The Peace dollar depicts the obverse of Miss Liberty, facing left, wearing a diadem of spikes (in somewhat similar style to that seen on the Statue of Liberty). LIBERTY is above, while IN GOD WE TRUST and the date are below.
The reverse shows an eagle perched on a rock, with a laurel branch, and with PEACE inscribed below. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and EPLURIBUS UNUM are above, while ONE DOLLAR is to be seen just below the center. Rays of an unseen sun emanate from the lower right.
Coin Values: Slabbed coins of 1921 XF can be found for $125 up to MS63 for $600, while a 1922 MS64 can be found for $50. There seem to be many die errors and those are worth more.
