1924-S Peace Silver Dollar. MS-65 (NGC).This is a highly significant Gem Uncirculated quality example of a key date Peace dollar. Sharply to fully struck throughout, both sides are lustrous with the unique satin to chrome-like finish that characterizes most high grade 1924-S dollars. Wisps of iridescent gold and pale russet are seen on surfaces that uphold the validity of the MS-65 grade from NGC. Although softly struck examples are known, the 1924-S is one of the easier San Francisco Mint Peace dollars to locate with sharp to full definition in the centers, as here. With a mintage of 1,728,000 pieces, however, Mint State examples are scarce by the standards of this series, and Gems are rare. This highlight of the impressive Peace dollar offerings in this sale is sure to sell for a strong bid.NGC Census: 73; 3 finer (MS-66 finest).From the Beasley Collection.
