The 1922-S Peace Dollar MS-66 NGC is a high-grade collectible from the United States Mint’s iconic Peace Dollar series, introduced to commemorate peace following World War I. Struck in 1922 at the San Francisco Mint, this coin is identified by the “S” mint mark and represents an early branch mint issue 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 importance.
This example is graded MS-66 (Mint State 66) by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), placing it in the premium Gem Uncirculated category. Coins at this level display strong, vibrant mint luster, sharp strike quality, and only minimal surface marks, resulting in superior overall eye appeal compared to lower-grade examples.
The obverse features the elegant Lady Liberty portrait designed by Anthony de Francisci, symbolizing freedom and optimism. The reverse showcases a bald eagle perched on a rock with the word “PEACE”, representing stability and hope in the post–World War I era.
With its San Francisco Mint origin, high MS-66 grade, and trusted NGC certification, the 1922-S Peace Dollar is a highly desirable addition for collectors seeking top-quality early Peace Dollar coins.
