1924 Peace $1 PCGS MS65

Peace silver dollars are beautiful coins and a set that is easy to complete. There are only twenty-four different coins in the set and none of them are difficult to buy or prohibitively expensive.
After World War I, there was a desire for a coin designed to commemorate the end of the Great War. A coin competition was created, and numerous designs were submitted by many very experienced coin designers.
The winning designer of this coin design competition, whose obverse and reverse designs were selected, was not only the youngest person in the competition, but he had never created a coin design that had won a competition.
Anthony de Francisci was an immigrant from Italy, who had come to America in 1905. He later became an American citizen in 1913. He was fortunate enough to create designs that won this competition.
He created a youthful-looking Miss Liberty for the obverse, because he had convinced his 24-year-old wife to model for her portrait. Miss Liberty wore a radiant crown with the sun’s rays emanating from it. She faces to the left and the word “LIBERTY,” adorns the upper periphery and the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” with the letter “U” represented in the Roman style “V,” which is separated by the truncation of Miss Liberty’s neck. The date of striking is below Miss Liberty’s neck.
The reverse depicts an American Bald Eagle, with its wings folded at its side. The eagle is perched on a rock, upon which the word “PEACE,” is inscribed. There are many rays of the sun behind the eagle.
On the upper periphery is inscribed, in two lines, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and the motto, “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The denomination, “ONE DOLLAR,” is separated by the eagle.
This coin was dated 1924, and it was struck by the Philadelphia Mint. There is no mintmark present, as is typical for the Philadelphia Mint. The Mint struck a large number of coins that year - 11,811,000 silver dollar coins in total.
This coin is graded as MS65 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), one of the three most popular and desirable grading services in existence. Coins graded as “MS65” or higher are considered as investment quality coins.
