The original $1 Peace Silver Dollar was issued in a very limited run from 1921 to 1928, and then again in 1934 and 1935. With the ending of World War I, a new coin was asked to be produced to commemorate the ending of the "Great War." It was to be called the "peace" coin and asked to be produced in such quantities that it should never become rare. At the end of the war, the Morgan Silver Dollar was still being produced, and while legislation was passed allowing for the coin to be produced, no change to the then current silver dollar design was required. A competition was held for the design of the commemorative "peace" coin, and in July 1921 competition for a new design was authorized. The final design was selected in December 1921, the design by Anthony de Francisci was unanimously selected.
The original design had the eagle standing on a broken sword, but controversy over the symbolism of defeat changed to a last minute design change removing the sword and a short run of just over one million coins were struck by the Philadelphia Mint in the final four days of 1921. A slight design change in 1922 allowed for better minting of the design and normal production at the nation's 3 mints commenced producing the coin in late February 1922.
The coin depicted here is a 1922 Philadelphia Mint production of the Peace Dollar. Certified by PCGS in MS63, it is a beautiful example of a well designed depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse, with a perched eagle holding an olive branch on the reverse.
