Description
The 1934 Peace Dollar is a dollar minted at the Philadelphia Mint, within the Peace Dollars 1921-1935 series. With a mintage of 954,057, this is a scarce issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 27% 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. Production resumed after a five-year hiatus (1929-1933) driven by the Great Depression. The 1934-S is a semi-key date. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $87 to $1.0K 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 #7375.
