Bowers writes, “Mint State 1935-S dollars … usually have attractive satiny lustre and are well struck. Cherrypicking is not needed here. Coins can be found easily in all grades through MS-64, and even MS-65s do not require much searching.”

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 [Hellenic] beauty seems to have been superseded by the newer 'flapper' type."
