1922 Philadelphia/P-Peace Dollars (Uncirculated, NGC Certified, Mint State 64)
These were purchased about 20 years ago and all are in nice condition. I have attached a couple of pictures to show what they look like.
Price: *$50 each if purchasing 1-8 coins. If purchasing 9 or more coins, those coins would be $45/$5 off $50 (Ex: If purchasing 12 - 1922 NGC Certified, MS 64 P-Peace Dollars; 8 x $50 = $400 plus 4 x $45 = $180; Final Total $580).
Note: *The price is Firm. This is for a local sale and pick-up only (cash) in Avalon 15202.
Description:
The Peace Dollar was minted to commemorate the signing of the peace treaty between the United States and Germany at the end of World War I. Interestingly, this coin was created without a new Congressional Act. It followed the provisions of the Pittman Act that authorized the reissue of the Morgan Silver Dollar in 1921.
Design
The medalist Anthony De Francisci designed the Peace dollar using his wife Teresa as a model for the personified head of Liberty. Above her head appears the word "LIBERTY" and beneath sits the date of issue. The motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" appears around her neck separated between the words "WE" and "TRUST".
The reverse features a perched eagle on a mountain crag looking off into rays of sunlight. Across the eagle is the denomination. The Mint Mark appears underneath the word "ONE". At the top of the coin along the rim lie the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" above the Latin phrase "E • PLURIBUS • UNUM".
All Peace Silver Dollars were struck in high relief in 1921, their first year of production. The design was slightly modified in 1922 and normal relief coins were struck later that year. Peace Dollars were struck continuously until effects of the Great Depression hit in 1929. The U.S. Mint began producing them again in 1934, but coins dated 1935 would be the last to see circulation. Soon after America became fully involved in World War II. Peace Dollars were actually struck in Denver again in 1965, but all were destroyed and none ever reached circulation.
