Value of 1922-S Peace Silver Dollar

Value of 1922 San Francisco Mint Peace Silver Dollar

To extend the life of the Peace dollar dies at the San Francisco Mint this year, management widened the space between the dies in the coining presses resulting in most coins being weakly struck. Generally, the quality of 1922-S Peace Dollars is low and finding one in MS-65 with a good strike, minimal marks, and strong luster can be difficult. And when one is found, the price is high. Seek out a coin in MS-64 with a strong strike. Bagmarks are also common with this issue.
Circulated 1922-S Silver Dollars Trade For Silver: Like virtually all Peace dollars, there is not significant premium for circulated 1922-S silver dollars beyond their value based on the current price of silver.
Eye Appeal And Strike Help Sell: This 1922 San Francisco Mint one silver dollar issue, the first of the design type, is available in grades of MS-60 up to an occasional MS-66 if one so desires. For this as well as other varieties, keep in mind that certification numbers do not address sharpness of strike or eye appeal. Sophisticated buyers prefer a sharply struck MS-63 with good eye appeal to an MS-65 coin that is weakly struck and unattractive. Look for a nice lustrous MS-65 but be aware of striking issues†San Francisco was lax in their attention to the silver dollar presses this year as noted.

The obverse text on the Peace Dollar reads “Liberty; In God We Trvst (Trust); 1922.” The reverse text on the silver dollar reads “United States of America; E Pluribus Unum; One Dollar; Peace; S.” The obverse of the coin has a bust of a female facing the left with a pointed crown and flowing hair.
