1935 $1 Peace Silver Dollar PCGS MS66
David Bowers writes, "In my opinion, the [Peace dollar] design is one of the most beautiful in American numismatics.”
Here is a pristine, desirable example of the Peace dollar. It would a dramatic addition to your collection, one for you to enjoy for many years to come. PCGS has graded 345 as MS66 with 167 finer. Collector’s Universe gives this issue a price of $3,000.00 in MS66.
David Bowers wrote (in 1993): “The 1935 is readily available in Uncirculated grade. Most are in MS-60 through 63 or even 64 grades. MS-65 pieces are scarcer but can be found with ease. Lustre is often satiny, rather than deeply frosty. The strike is usually decent, including on the center of the reverse.”
Upon its release, a newspaper in Philadelphia wrote, “Liberty is getting younger. Take it from the new 'Peace Dollar,' put in circulation yesterday, the young woman who has been adorning silver currency for many years, never looked better than in the 'cart wheel' that the Philadelphia Mint has just started to turn out. The young lady, moreover, has lost her Greek profile. [Hellenic] beauty seems to have been superseded by the newer 'flapper' type."
