Description

A dollar from the San Francisco Mint, the 1927 (S) Peace Dollar belongs to the Peace Dollars 1921-1935 series. With a mintage of 866,000, this is a scarce issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 29% of production. The obverse features a youthful Liberty facing left wearing a radiate crown, designed after sculptor Anthony de Francisci's wife Teresa and the reverse displays a bald eagle perched on a rock above the word PEACE, with rays of sunlight. The 1927-D with a mintage of 1,268,900 is a semi-key date. The 1927-S is similarly scarce in uncirculated condition. The San Francisco Mint, a Gold Rush-era institution, now specializes in proof and collector coinage. Estimated market value ranges from $87 to $7.4K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7372.
