Overview

A heavy silver coin showing heavy circulated wear and dark toning, featuring the radiate bust of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle perched on a mountain with the word PEACE on the reverse.

Historical significance

Minted starting in 1921 to commemorate the conclusion of World War I and the return of peace, succeeding the Morgan Dollar.

Obverse (front)

Features the left-facing profile of Lady Liberty wearing a radiant spiked crown resembling the Statue of Liberty. Inscriptions include 'LIBERTY' across the top, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' broken across the lower field, and the date '1922' at the bottom.

Reverse (back)

Depicts a bald eagle facing right, perched on a rock or mountain peak, holding an olive branch with rays of the sun in the background. Inscriptions include 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' along the top, 'ONE DOLLAR' across the center, and the word 'PEACE' at the bottom.

Estimated value

$25-$35 (mostly silver melt value plus a slight numismatic premium due to heavy wear/damage)

What drives this coin's value

Condition/grade is the primary factor. While 1922 Philadelphia is very common, key dates in the series like the 1921 high relief or 1928 Philadelphia carry significant premiums.

Grade assessment

About Good to Good (AG3 to G4), showing heavy wear, flattened details, and dark environmental toning.

Mintage & rarity

Common (over 51 million minted for the 1922 Philadelphia issue)

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check weight (26.73g) and diameter (38.1mm). Genuine silver dollars have a specific clear ring when gently struck. Counterfeits made of base metals will often fail the ping test or magnet test (silver is non-magnetic).

Notable varieties & errors

High Relief (1921), Proof issues, and occasional minor doubled die obverse/reverse varieties.

Similar coins

Morgan Silver Dollar, which is heavier-looking with a different design, and various US commemorative silver dollars of the same era.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges only using cotton gloves. Do not clean, scrub, or polish the coin, as this destroys its original surfaces and drastically reduces its numismatic value. Store in an inert 2x2 flip, airtight capsule, or paper coin envelope in a cool, dry environment.
