1923 Peace Dollar MS-66 NGC
The 1923 Peace Dollar is a beautiful commemorative coin with a rich history. This coin is noteworthy because it was the last commemorative coin minted at the U.S. Mint for nearly fifty years after its release.

Designed by Anthony de Francisci, a student of the famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who modeled the likeness of Lady Liberty after his wife – Teresa de Francisci. De Francisci, a young novice coin designer at the time, entered a competition with his designs held by the Commission of Fine Arts to design the new Silver Dollar. De Francisci said his goal with his design was to “capture the spirit of the country – its intellectual speed, vigor and vitality.”

United States Mint History
The United States Mint was created in 1792 as part of Alexander Hamilton's financial plan for the United States. The Mint is responsible for producing coins for the United States, as well as commemorative coins and Congressional Gold medals.

The United States Mint was created by Congress on April 2, 1792. The first Mint building was in Philadelphia, and it was operated by David Rittenhouse, who was also the first Director of the United States Mint.

The Mint's primary purpose was to produce coins for the United States. The first coins produced by the Mint were Copper Cents, which were minted in 1793. In 1794, Silver Dollars and Half-Dollars were added to the production line. In 1835, Gold coins were added to the lineup, followed by Platinum coins in 1997. Today, the United States Mint produces coins in a variety of metals, including Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium and Copper.
