The 1928-S Peace Silver Dollar is a highly sought-after issue within the iconic Peace Dollar series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, the 1928-S has a lower mintage compared to many other dates in the series, making it a key date for collectors. Its relative scarcity, especially in higher grades, combined with its historical significance, ensures its enduring popularity among numismatists.
Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this classic silver dollar contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse features the profile of the Goddess of Liberty, designed by Anthony de Francisci, with a radiant crown, along with the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the date “1928.” The reverse displays a bald eagle at rest clutching an olive branch, with the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “ONE DOLLAR,” and “PEACE.” The “S” mint mark of the San Francisco Mint appears on the reverse, just below the word “ONE.” The Peace Silver Dollar was issued to commemorate the peace treaties that ended World War I.
