1925 S$1

Description

1925 Peace Dollar, Philadelphia Mint, MS-67. This exceptional MS-67 example represents the upper echelon of quality for the 1925 Peace Dollar, a date that has become increasingly scarce in the finest grades despite its substantial 10,198,000-piece mintage. Certified by PCGS (Certificate #66374970), this coin showcases the remarkable eye appeal and lustrous surfaces characteristic of the finest 1925 Philadelphia issues. With only 38 coins graded finer across the entire population of 270 PCGS-certified examples, this specimen occupies an elite position within the series. The coin displays the crisp metallic sheen and booming luster typical of premium 1925 dollars, with bagmarks that are notably light and unobtrusive—a hallmark of the finest examples from this date. Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the 1925 Peace Dollar was the last large-mintage issue in the series to exceed 10 million pieces. While common in lower Mint State grades, the 1925 becomes genuinely rare at MS-67, with PCGS recording only a single MS-68 example in the entire series. This coin's strong strike and superior eye appeal make it an ideal candidate for advanced Peace Dollar type sets or specialized collections focusing on the series' finest representatives. The 90% silver composition and full weight of 26.73 grams ensure both numismatic and intrinsic value. Historically, the 1925 Peace Dollar exemplifies the complex market dynamics of mid-20th century numismatics. Once considered rare in Mint State during the 1940s, Treasury releases transformed its availability, only for it to regain scarcity status by the early 1950s. This MS-67 example represents the result of careful preservation and represents the caliber of coin that serious collectors actively pursue.
