Lot Description

1934-S Peace Silver Dollar. MS-65 (NGC). CAC. This coin offers highly desirable Gem Mint State quality for a leading condition rarity among circulation strike Peace dollars. Bountiful satin luster is seen both sides, and the surfaces are as nice as would be expected for the MS-65 rating from NGC. The strike is bold and there are delightful iridescent champagne-gold highlights under a light. Although not the lowest mintage issue in its series, the 1934-S has long been recognized as the rarest Peace dollar in terms of total number of Mint State coins believed extant. With the vast majority of survivors grading no finer than MS-64, this important Gem combines both absolute scarcity and condition rarity and is sure to appeal to advanced collectors. Provenance: From the Beasley Collection. NGC Census: 75; 18 finer (MS-66 * finest). PCGS# 7377. NGC ID: 257Z. Click here for certification details from NGC.
