Rare 1926 Philadelphia Peace Dollar
Discovered at a local coin show, we are thrilled to present the 1926 Philadelphia Peace Dollar, a gem from nearly 100 years ago. The Peace Dollar, the last full-size silver dollar struck for circulation by the United States Mint, embodies a significant chapter in U.S. numismatic history. This particular coin, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of a remarkable find—pristine rolls of Peace Dollars in stunning uncirculated condition.
The Peace Dollar was born out of a nation's desire for a new symbol in the aftermath of WWI, encapsulating the American people's aspiration for peace and prosperity. With a mintage of 1,939,000 in 1926, these coins have become a coveted rarity among collectors. According to the latest NGC & PCGS population reports (as of 01/23/2024), only 29,104 of these Philadelphia minted coins are known to exist today, representing just 1.5% of the original mintage. This scarcity underscores the 1926 Philadelphia Peace Dollar's allure as a 'modern-day collecting secret' and a true numismatic treasure.
