2023 PR70 Peace Silver Dollar Proof

The United States Mint’s 2021 Morgan and Peace Dollars celebrated the 100th anniversaries of two classic, historic coins—the last minting in 1921 of the Morgan Dollar and the first minting of the Peace Dollar.  THE 2021 COINS HAVE GONE UP IN VALUE OVER 400%!  There were no coins released in 2022 due to a shortage of silver planchets.  

In December 1921, the Peace Dollar design was approved by Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, replacing the Morgan Dollar and marking peace between the U.S. and Germany. Designed by renowned Italian American Sculptor Anthony de Francisci (1887- 1964), the Peace Dollar symbolized the country’s coming of age as an international power, while recognizing the sacrifices made by its citizens in World War I and celebrating victory and peace. Reintroduced to commemorate its centennial anniversary in 2021, the Peace Dollar has a beautiful proof finish.

The obverse (heads side) features Liberty in profile, a radiant crown on her head. Obverse inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year of issuance.

The reverse (tails) depicts an eagle at rest holding an olive branch above the inscription “PEACE.” Additional inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
