Peace Silver Dollar Rolls

The Peace dollar arose out of two trends: a groundswell of public support for a coin to mark the end of the First World War, and the passage of the Pittman Act in 1918. The Act authorized the U.S. Mint to produce new silver bullion, the first since the Morgan dollar ended its initial production run in 1904. The design for the Peace dollar was created by Anthony de Francisci, following a competition between a small group of renowned medalists arranged by the Commission of Fine Arts. On the obverse of the coin is an image of Lady Liberty in profile, based on the features of de Francisci's wife, Teresa. On the reverse is an eagle perched on a rock, clutching an olive branch above the inscription "PEACE". To date, this is the only U.S. coin with the word "PEACE" written on it.

The U.S. Mint initially produced Peace dollars in its Philadelphia facility, with San Francisco and Denver beginning shortly after that. Initial production ended in 1928. However, with silver prices at a historic low, minting resumed again in 1934 for an additional two years.

Circulated Conditions

Our silver dollars are offered in ungraded, circulated condition. The common conditions we sell are:

VG (Very Good) to XF (Extra Fine): This condition means the coins have been circulated in society and exhibit moderate to severe traces of wear, with possible cleaning, surface abrasions, or a combination of all these characteristics. Little to no original mint luster will be present and there may be light to heavy toning.

AU (About Uncirculated): This condition means the coins may appear uncirculated but with closer inspection can reveal moderate traces of wear, evidence of friction visible on high points. Half to three-quarters of the original mint luster will still be present.

Uncirculated condition

BU (Brilliant Uncirculated): This condition means the silver coins have never been circulated in society, and will generally retain full original mint luster. They will exhibit minimal bag marks or abrasions.

Rolls

It is very hard to find original rolls like the ones we feature here! Rolls in better condition are often broken up by dealers who sell them as individual coins. The coins you receive will always be in the advertised condition, we will never cherry pick through the roll or replace them with cleaned or slider coins.

Investing in Silver

Silver is a precious metal with a long history of use as currency. Today, its importance to manufacturing, jewelry making, and a wide range of industrial processes drives global demand. However, because of its abundance, it is the most affordable precious metal, and a useful entry point to commodity investing. Many experts believe a portfolio containing some precious metals is more resilient to market fluctuations over time. If you're interested in investing in silver, Mint State Gold can help.
