Overview

Historical significance

The Peace Dollar was minted from 1921 to 1928, and again in 1934 and 1935. It was designed by Anthony de Francisci to commemorate the end of World War I and the subsequent peace. It is the last U.S. dollar coin to be struck for circulation in 90% silver, and its design reflects the nation's optimism for peace during that era.

Estimated value

The value of a 1926 Peace Dollar depends significantly on its mint mark (which is not visible in the image) and its condition. For a common mint such as Philadelphia (no mint mark) in average circulated condition, values can range from $25-$50. Uncirculated coins can fetch $60-$200+, with rare mint marks or high grades commanding much higher prices.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can tarnish the surface. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder or slab, to protect it from environmental damage and physical scratches. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can severely decrease its numismatic value.
