- 1922 Peace Silver Dollar. MS-67 (NGC).
This crisply impressed, fully defined example exhibits the lightest iridescent gold toning to bountiful mint frost. More than 51.7 million examples of the normal relief 1922 Peace dollar were struck for circulation at the Philadelphia Mint, which was a record for silver dollar production by any mint up until that point. It would remain a record for the denomination until the introduction of the Eisenhower dollar in the 1970s. This large quantity of 1922 dollars far exceeded demand, and the vast majority of these wound up stored in canvas bags in the Mint and the Treasury for decades. These were later paid out by banks to collectors and dealers throughout the 1940s and 1950s, and Q. David Bowers notes that bags "were still being distributed by the Treasury as late as March 1964."
While this issue is readily available in Mint State up through Gem, in the very finest Superb grades this issue is incredibly scarce. The present piece represents one of only 39 grading events at the MS-67 level for NGC, and only a single coin has been graded finer at that service. It is truly a significant find for the most advanced collectors of the series, especially NGC Set Registry participants.
Provenance: From the Pittstown Collection.
NGC Census: 39; 1 finer (MS-67+ * finest).
