1922-D Silver Peace Dollar AU

Beautiful 1922-D Peace Silver Dollars

The very first “Peace” Silver Dollar, so named for its introduction at the end of World War I, was a failure. Struck in 1921 and released to the public in the early days of 1922, its stunning high-relief design was notoriously difficult to strike. And so, soon after the calendar flipped over to 1922, the U.S. Mint re-designed the coin for a standard relief strike, and the rest is history.

An Unequivocal Collector Favorite

The last silver dollar struck for circulation in 90% fine silver, these coins celebrated our victory in World War I, became associated with speakeasies and big-screen gangsters, and were eventually rounded up and melted down. Today the Peace Dollar has become an unequivocal collector favorite. In fact, to celebrate the coin’s 100th anniversary in 2021, the U.S. Mint struck Peace Dollars in 0.858 troy ounces of .999 fine silver. The coin was received with widespread acclaim and, after a one-year hiatus due to the unavailability of silver blanks, the Peace Dollar returned in 2023!

• HIGH SILVER CONTENT – Each coin is struck in 26.73 grams of highly pure 90% fine silver and measures 38.1 mm in diameter
• FAMOUS DESIGN – The design created by Anthony di Francisci, was the result of a contest for a new silver dollar that promoted peace following the end of World War I. The Italian-born sculptor used his wife for the model of Lady Liberty in his attempt to capture the spirit of his adopted country.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING PEACE DOLLAR – Despite millions of Peace Silver Dollars being struck from 1921 to 1935, most were lost in circulation or melted down in mass silver meltings. In fact, coin experts believe that only 16% of all Peace Dollars remain in existence in any condition today!
