Lot Description

Remarkable quality and eye appeal in an example of this often poorly produced and/or noticeably abraded issue. The quality of strike is nothing short of outstanding for a San Francisco Mint Peace dollar, the detail universally bold from the rims to the centers. Lustrous frosty-white surfaces are fully untoned with an exceptionally smooth appearance that is devoid of all but a trace of granularity (as made) to the obverse. The mintage figure for the 1922-S Peace dollar is 17,475,000 coins, and even near-Gem examples are readily available for a trivial sum. However, at the Gem level an exponential increase in rarity is encountered. The present MS-66 piece represents one of the finest examples graded by NGC and is surely an important offering for advanced Peace dollar collectors.
