What Makes an MS64 Peace Dollar?
• No Wear: Fully uncirculated with no friction on Liberty’s cheek, hair, crown rays, or the eagle’s breast.

• Above Average Eye Appeal: Cleaner surfaces than lower mint-state grades, with fewer or lighter contact marks.
• Sharp Strike: Liberty’s hair strands, facial features, and eagle feather detail remain bold and well-defined.
• Near-Gem Quality: Just below the gem MS65 level, often offering exceptional value for advanced collectors.
Design Details:
• Obverse: Left-facing Liberty wearing a radiant crown, modeled after Teresa de Francisci, with LIBERTY above and the date below.
• Reverse: American eagle perched on a mountain peak holding an olive branch, with radiant sun rays and the powerful inscription “PEACE.”
Historical Significance:
The Peace Dollar was introduced in the aftermath of World War I as America’s commemorative silver dollar of peace. By 1925, the series was in full production, representing a prosperous era in U.S. history while continuing the silver coinage legacy shaped by the Pittman Act.
Collectibility:
The 1925 Peace Dollar is a popular date within the series, and examples graded MS64 by PCGS are highly sought after for their blend of affordability, originality, and near-gem eye appeal. Ideal for type collectors, registry participants, or anyone seeking premium classic U.S. silver.
