Description

The 1926 (D) Peace Dollar is a dollar produced at the Denver Mint as part of the Peace Dollars 1921-1935 series. With a mintage of 2.3 million, this is a less common issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 21% of 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. Minted during and after World War I, as America emerged as a global power and experienced the prosperity of the Roaring Twenties. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $75 to $1.2K 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 #7368.
