1925-S Peace Dollar Silver US Coin $970 This 1925-S Peace Silver Dollar is a notable example of American numismatic history, struck at the San Francisco Mint with a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper. The obverse features Anthony de Francisci's iconic design of Lady Liberty wearing a radiant crown, symbolizing the peace following World War I, while the reverse depicts an eagle perched on a mountain peak. This specific coin displays a natural silver luster with evidence of original mint frost remaining in the protected areas of the design. The 1925-S is particularly significant to collectors because, while it had a relatively high mintage of over 1.6 million, it is notorious for being frequently found with weak strikes and lackluster surfaces, making examples with strong visual appeal and sharp details highly desirable. It measures 38.1mm in diameter and contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, representing both significant bullion value and historical numismatic interest. Condition: Based on the provided image, the coin appears to be in Extremely Fine (XF) to About Uncirculated (AU) condition. There is visible wear on the high points of Lady Liberty's hair and the coronet, but much of the original luster remains. The surfaces show some light bag marks and minor abrasions consistent with a coin that has seen very light circulation. The mint is the San Francisco Mint, indicated by the 'S' mint mark on the reverse (though the reverse is not shown, the label confirms '1925-S'). The metal content is 90% silver and 10% copper, containing approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. Historically, the Peace Dollar was designed by Anthony de Francisci to commemorate the peace following World War I; the 1925-S is known for often having a weak strike compared to Philadelphia issues. The collector value for a 1925-S in this raw, mid-to-high grade typically ranges from $40 to $60, making the $970 or even the $485 retail label significantly higher than standard market value unless it possesses a rare variety or hidden attribute. The strike type is a standard business strike. This coin is currently raw and ungraded by a third-party service like PCGS or NGC. 1925-S, Peace Dollar, silver dollar, United States, numismatics, coin collecting, silver bullion, Lady Liberty, San Francisco mint, vintage currency, coin flip, barcode label 1925-S Peace Dollar, silver dollar, rare coins, numismatics, US currency, collectible coins, silver bullion, 1925-S silver dollar, coin collecting, vintage American coins Bidder is fully responsible for: - Determining what an item is worth to you - Evaluating the condition and authenticity of items - Making informed bidding decisions The auction house does explicitly not: - Provide appraisals - Grade items - Authenticate items - Test items - Third-Party Grading is that of the 3rd party and not done by us -Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper, Gold-Gilded, Gold layered or Silver Plated, Electic Plating, The Me
