When the US Mint was called to produce millions of silver dollars, the original deadline was 1928 and stayed the last year for several years, before the reauthorization in 1934. Expected to be the second to last Peace dollar of the series, the Philadelphia Mint decreased the mintage, for the 1927 dollar, more drastically than the year before. In fact, the 1927 Peace silver dollar is the first coin to have a mintage under 1 million, from the Philadelphia Mint. The Peace dollar was the first US coin to memorialize peace among the nation. The type of Lady Liberty chosen is actually a goddess that has been used on currency, worldwide, since before the Roman Empire. The reverse depicts the ultimate symbol of peace: an eagle carrying an olive branch in its talon. Your 1927 Peace silver dollar is in fine condition, with heavy wear on both sides of the coin, especially around Liberty and the eagle.
