The 1926-S Peace Dollar MS-62 PCGS is a collectible coin from the United States Mint’s iconic Peace Dollar series, introduced to commemorate peace following World War I. Minted in 1926 at the San Francisco Mint, it is identified by the “S” mint mark and represents an important 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 significance.
This example is graded MS-62 (Mint State 62) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), indicating an uncirculated coin with noticeable contact marks and abrasions typical for the grade, while still retaining original mint luster and strong design details.
The obverse features the elegant Lady Liberty portrait designed by Anthony de Francisci, symbolizing freedom and optimism. The reverse displays 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, PCGS certification, and uncirculated status, the 1926-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.
