The Peace Silver Dollar: A Symbol of Postwar Hope
The Peace Silver Dollar, minted from 1921 to 1935, stands as a powerful emblem of America’s desire for peace following World War I. Collectors and investors alike appreciate its bold design, historical relevance, and silver content.
Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the obverse showcases a radiant Lady Liberty crowned with rays of light. The reverse features a resting eagle clutching an olive branch, perched atop a rock inscribed with the word “PEACE.” This imagery represents a nation yearning for calm after conflict.
Each coin is struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, providing both beauty and intrinsic value. Weighing 26.73 grams and measuring 38.1 millimeters in diameter, the Peace Dollar feels robust and substantial—truly a product of thoughtful craftsmanship.
A Reflection of America’s Postwar Era
More than just silver, the Peace Dollar reflects a turning point in American history. Its introduction marked the end of the Morgan Dollar series and the start of a new era in numismatics—one focused on hope, unity, and progress.
Minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, Peace Dollars offer collectors a variety of options. From high-grade examples to circulated coins full of character, there’s something for every budget and interest level.
Because of their historical context and silver value, Peace Dollars appeal to collectors, investors, and patriots alike. Some seek complete date-and-mintmark sets, while others enjoy owning just a few as tangible pieces of American legacy.
The Appeal of PCGS Rattler Holders
Grading and encapsulation add another dimension to coin collecting. Coins housed in PCGS Rattler holders are especially prized. Released in 1986, the Rattler was the first generation of holders used by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS).
These cases earned their nickname from the slight movement—or “rattle”—of the coin inside. Though simple in design, Rattlers helped legitimize third-party grading and provided buyers with confidence and consistency.
Today, collectors cherish Rattler-encased Peace Dollars not only for their contents but also for the holders’ vintage appeal. Combining historical presentation with reliable grading, they are a top-tier choice for serious numismatists.
