The Certified Peace Silver Dollar 1923-S MS65 PCGS is a remarkable example of the Peace dollar series, which was minted from 1921 to 1935 as a symbol of peace following World War I. The Peace dollar was designed by Anthony de Francisci and features a detailed portrait of Lady Liberty on the obverse, a representation that embodies the hope and aspirations of the American people during a time of transition. The coin was first minted in 1921, and the 1923-S issue is one of the key dates in the series.
The design of the Peace dollar is celebrated for its artistic merit. On the obverse, Lady Liberty is depicted in profile, wearing a radiating diadem that symbolizes enlightenment and freedom. The inscriptions surrounding her include "LIBERTY" at the top, "IN GOD WE TRUST" to the right, and the date "1923" at the bottom. The reverse features an eagle perched on a rock, with its wings outstretched, signifying strength and resilience. The eagle is surrounded by the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM," along with the denomination "ONE DOLLAR." This design captures the essence of a nation recovering and striving for a peaceful future.
The 1923-S Peace dollar was minted at the San Francisco Mint, which is known for producing coins with exceptional quality. In 1923, the San Francisco Mint struck a total of 1,194,000 Peace dollars, making the 1923-S relatively common compared to other years in the series. However, finding one in high grade can be challenging, as many of the coins were heavily circulated during their time in commerce. The MS65 grade from PCGS indicates that this particular coin is in superb condition, exhibiting full luster and striking detail, with minimal signs of wear or blemishes.
Collectors value the 1923-S Peace dollar not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its historical significance. The Peace dollar represents a pivotal moment in American history, reflecting the desire for peace and prosperity in the post-war era. The coin has become a favorite among numismatists, especially those interested in silver coins and the artistic expressions of early 20th-century America. The Certified Peace Silver Dollar 1923-S MS65 PCGS exemplifies the combination of artistic design, historical relevance, and exceptional quality that makes it a treasured piece in any coin collection.
