A nice silver Peace dollar! / Re-Blog lottery day #2!

It's been awhile since I shared one of my Peace dollars, so here we go again! The Peace silver dollars were probably the most elegant and beautiful silver dollars the US Mint ever produced. That being said I also love the Morgan's because all of the beautiful details and they still remain my favorites to collect. This particular coin I picked up a quite awhile back, while not a perfect specimen it does show the timeless beauty of the work of art that they are.

At the time these silver dollars were produced they weren't very popular with the public in general. They complained they were too heavy to carry around and preferred carrying around paper money. Just like today people found the paper currency easier to deal with, I know I never carry around dollar coins in my pockets even though they are still produced by the mint... Maybe if they were still made with silver it might change my mind though!

This lack of popularity back then has been great for us stackers and collectors today. Many of these silver dollar coins never left the bank vaults for circulation so they are relatively easy to find today in excellent condition. Peace dollars are very affordable to collect except for a few very rare varieties, especially the 1921 high relief dollar that are often priced over $1000 US for poor grades and it goes up from there.

Today's coin is 98 years old produced in 1925 in Philadelphia US Mint:
