1935-S Peace Silver Dollar VF

LAST Silver Dollar Struck For Circulation In 90% Silver!

The Peace Silver Dollar was intended as a one-year-only celebration of World War I’s end, but proved so popular that the series ran from 1921 to 1928 and again in 1934 and 1935. The San Francisco Mint struck only 27% of the Peace Silver Dollars issued during the ten years the coin was minted—compared to 58% struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Here you have the last 1935-S Peace Dollar minted in San Francisco, struck in highly pure 90% fine silver. Coin experts estimate that only 16% of all Peace Dollars minted still exist today in any condition, which makes these coin even more remarkable!

Peace Dollars Are Hot!

2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the first low-relief Peace Silver Dollar minted in 1922, which has raised the temperature for the market, with demand far outstripping supply. It doesn’t hurt that the Peace Dollar series was the LAST 90% silver dollar struck for circulation by the United States Mint. These San Francisco Mint-struck Peace Dollars are in Very Fine (VF) condition, which means they were in circulation, and used by folks to purchase the goods and services of the day. For what were they used a century ago? Just imagine!

The Designer Of America’s Fabled Peace Dollar

The Peace Silver Dollar was designed by 33-year-old Italian-American sculptor Anthony De Francisci, who used his wife, Teresa Cafarelli, as his model for Lady Liberty. The design presents Lady Liberty wearing a crown of rays on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle holding the olive branches of peace, rather than the typical olive branches and arrows of war. The coin’s original reverse showed an eagle breaking a sword to symbolize disarmament at the end of the war. Mint officials were concerned this depiction would signify defeat and had the sword removed. The result was a beautiful symbol of peace for the ages!
