The 1924-S Peace Silver Dollar is a classic and highly sought-after issue in the Peace Dollar series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin represents the post-World War I era and the nation's desire for peace. While the 1924-S had a relatively large mintage, finding examples in higher grades can be challenging due to typical circulation wear and striking inconsistencies common to San Francisco Mint issues of this period. Its historical significance and beautiful design make it a popular choice among collectors.
Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this classic silver dollar contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a radiant crown, along with the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the date “1924.” The reverse displays an eagle resting on a rock holding an olive branch, gazing toward the sunrise, with the word “PEACE” inscribed below. The “S” mint mark of the San Francisco Mint is located on the reverse below the word “ONE.” Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the Peace Silver Dollar remains a beautiful symbol of American history.
