Description

The 1924 (S) Peace Dollar is a dollar produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Peace Dollars 1921-1935 series. With a mintage of 1.7 million, this is a scarce issue — the scarcer of two mint variants, with 13% of total production. The obverse features a youthful Liberty facing left wearing a radiate crown, designed after sculptor Anthony de Francisci's wife Teresa and the reverse displays a bald eagle perched on a rock above the word PEACE, with rays of sunlight. The 1924-S with a mintage of 1,728,000 is a semi-key date, particularly scarce in Mint State. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $88 to $7.4K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7364.
