The 1927-S Peace Silver Dollar is a notable issue in the classic Peace Dollar series, struck at the San Francisco Mint. Designed by Anthony de Francisci to commemorate the peace following World War I, the Peace Dollar remains a favorite among collectors for its beautiful Art Deco design and historical significance. The 1927-S is known for its relatively low mintage compared to earlier years, making it a desirable find for numismatists building a complete set.
Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this classic silver dollar contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse features a striking profile of Lady Liberty wearing a radiant crown, inscribed with the word "LIBERTY" and the date "1927." The reverse displays a majestic bald eagle resting on a rock with an olive branch, symbolizing peace, alongside the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "ONE DOLLAR," and "PEACE." The "S" mint mark of the San Francisco Mint is located on the reverse, just below the word "ONE."
