The 1922-S Peace Dollar MS-62 NGC is a desirable coin from the United States Mint’s historic Peace Dollar series, introduced to commemorate peace following World War I. Minted in 1922 at the San Francisco Mint, it is identified by the “S” mint mark and represents one of the early branch mint issues of the series.
The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, containing approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, combining intrinsic value with historical significance.
This example is graded MS-62 (Mint State 62) by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), indicating an uncirculated coin with noticeable contact marks and abrasions typical for the grade, while still retaining overall mint luster and clear design details.
The obverse features the elegant Lady Liberty portrait designed by Anthony de Francisci, symbolizing freedom and hope. The reverse displays a bald eagle perched on a rock with the word “PEACE”, representing stability and optimism in the post–World War I era.
With its San Francisco Mint origin, NGC certification, and uncirculated status, the 1922-S Peace Dollar is a solid addition to any U.S. coin collection or precious metals portfolio, especially for collectors building a complete Peace Dollar set.
