1925-S Peace Silver Dollar. MS-65 (NGC). We note above average striking detail for this challenging issue, the centers with emerging to bold definition that gives way to sharp to full detail toward the borders. A touch of granularity is noted for the obverse, typical of the 1925-S, but the reverse is smoother, and both sides are highly lustrous with swirling cartwheel visual effects. Otherwise brilliant, mottled sandy-silver tinting on the obverse is not readily evident at all viewing angles.Trailing only the 1928-S, the 1925-S is the second rarest Peace dollar at or above the Gem Mint State grade level. Obtainable with ease in grades through MS-64, this changes significantly at MS-65. With most Uncirculated survivors exhibiting poor striking detail (especially on the top part of the eagles wing), inferior luster and/or excessive abrasions, the present example is certainly a welcome exception. PCGS# 7366. NGC ID: 257M. NGC Census: 76; 5 finer (MS-66 finest at this service).
