What Makes a Peace Dollar BU?
• No Circulation Wear: A BU Peace Dollar shows no friction on Liberty’s cheek, hair, crown rays, or the eagle’s breast and wing tops.
• Full Mint Luster: Original cartwheel luster flows across the coin’s surfaces when tilted under light.
• Sharp Design Elements: Liberty’s hair strands, facial features, and the eagle’s feathers remain bold and fully defined.
• Original Surfaces: BU examples retain their as-struck surfaces, though contact marks from mint handling and storage may be present.
• Typical Grade Range: Equivalent to approximately MS60 to MS63+ on the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale, with higher-end examples showing stronger eye appeal.
Design Details:
• Obverse: Left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a radiant crown, inspired by the designer’s wife, Teresa de Francisci, with LIBERTY above and the date below.
• Reverse: Majestic bald eagle resting on a mountaintop clutching an olive branch, with the word “PEACE” boldly displayed beneath.
Historical Significance:
Created in the aftermath of World War I and issued during the silver coinage reforms influenced by the Pittman Act, the Peace Dollar represented a new era for American coinage. Its bold Art Deco styling and symbolic message of peace made it an instant classic.
Collectibility:
Random-date Peace Dollars in BU condition are highly sought after for their original mint frost, strong eye appeal, and silver content. Whether building a date set, adding classic U.S. silver, or seeking a nearly century-old coin with untouched surfaces, BU Peace Dollars remain a cornerstone of American numismatics.
