Peace Silver Dollars (1921-1935)
The Peace Silver Dollar is a United States dollar coin minted from 1921 to 1928 and again in 1934 and 1935 due to changes in legislation. Anthony de Francisci designed the coin, resulting from a competition to find designs emblematic of peace.
The coin is significant in that it commemorates the peace following World War I. Its name, "Peace dollar," is not found on the coin but is derived from the original models, which were inscribed with the word PEACE.
The Peace Silver Dollar is a popular coin among collectors for its design and the history it represents. Like all old coins, the value of a Peace Dollar depends on its condition, its rarity, and the demand from collectors.
Collectors interested in the Peace Dollar may also want to consider the series that preced them, the Morgan Dollars. The overlapping 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar is a great bridge to start with between the two series.

The word "LIBERTY" is shown above, and the phrase "IN GOD WE TRUST" is below. The mint date is also featured on the obverse.
The reverse design of the Peace Dollar features a bald eagle at rest, clutching an olive branch above the inscription "PEACE." The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR" are inscribed around the border, along with the phrase "E PLURIBUS UNUM" above the eagle.
