1934-S Peace Silver Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS).Highly desirable Gem Mint State quality for this key date entry in the Peace silver dollar series. Sharply struck throughout, and far more so than often encountered in San Francisco Mint coins of this type, both sides also sport bountiful luster in a lively frosty texture. Minimally toned and close to full brilliance, there is much to recommend this example to the advanced collector. A faint planchet drift mark (as made) is well concealed in Libertys hair. The 1934-S is a low mintage issue from this series with 1,011,000 pieces struck for circulation, most examples of which were melted or entered circulation soon after striking. In absolute terms this is not the rarest Peace dollar in the finest Mint State grades, but it is the rarest in terms of total number of Uncirculated coins extant. Gems such as this enjoy particularly strong demand in todays highly competitive market.
