1927-D $1 MS65 认证号81609989, PCGS号7371

A gem example of this coin eluded me for several years. Many come and go in the inventories of dealers and at auction, but few are exceptional. This one shares many (but not all) of the features of VAM-3C. The obverse is slightly nicer than the reverse. Strike is excellent and luster is deep and bold. The few hits on the reverse are well-hidden. This example retains original mint frost in the hair and between the feathers - not too common in this issue.

According to a notice in the June 1934 issue of The Numismatist (p. 416), collectors could still purchase Uncirculated 1927-D Peace Dollars directly from the U.S. Treasury for "the face value of the coins and an amount sufficient to cover the mail charrges by first-class mail."
