Overview

A United States silver dollar featuring a left-facing Liberty with a radiant crown and a perched eagle on the reverse.

Historical significance

Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the Peace Dollar was issued to commemorate the end of World War I. The 1922 issue was the first year of the low-relief design, which was adopted because the high-relief 1921 design caused production difficulties.

Obverse (front)

Liberty's left-facing profile wearing a radiate crown. 'LIBERTY' above, 'IN GOD WE TRVST' (using the Latin V for U) flanking the neck, and the date below.

Reverse (back)

An American eagle perched on a rock, clutching an olive branch, watching the sunrise. Legend 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' at top, 'PEACE' at bottom.

Estimated value

$25-$35 for circulated/cull examples, $45-$120 for Mint State 60-64, $200+ for high-grade Gems.

What drives this coin's value

Most influenced by the current spot price of silver and the coin's technical grade. Examples with original luster and few baggy marks command a premium.

Grade assessment

Very Fine / Extremely Fine (Circular wear visible on hair and eagle feathers, surfaces appear somewhat dull/circulated).

Mintage & rarity

51,737,000 (Very common date; highest mintage of the series)

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for correct weight (approx 26.7g) and diameter. Common fakes are often magnetic or have 'mushy' details in the hair. Real silver has a distinct ring when gently balanced; avoid chemical tests.

Notable varieties & errors

VAM varieties (die variants), such as the 'Die Break on Reverse' or 'Olive Branch' varieties, though these are mostly specialized interests for this common date.

Similar coins

Morgan Silver Dollar (different design, 1878-1921), 1921 High Relief Peace Dollar (deeper concave fields, rarer).

Care & preservation

Handle only by the edges. Do not clean or polish, as this removes original surface luster and significantly reduces numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free flip or airtight capsule.
