The 1922-S Peace Dollar MS-63 NGC is a collectible 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 in 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-63 (Mint State 63) by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), indicating an uncirculated coin with strong mint luster and moderate contact marks typical for the grade, while still maintaining attractive overall eye appeal.
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, MS-63 grade, and trusted NGC certification, the 1922-S Peace Dollar is a great addition to any U.S. coin collection or precious metals portfolio, especially for collectors building a complete Peace Dollar set.
