The United States Mint's Last Silver Dollar!
History was made in 1935...America's last 90% Silver Dollars was struck for circulation.
The Peace Dollar was rushed into production in the closing weeks of 1921 to commemorate the end of World War I (then commonly referred to as the "Great War".) The design features a proud presentation of Lady Liberty donning a crown of light with a perched American Bald Eagle watching a sunrise on the reverse. In a sign of remembrance, designer Anthony di Francisci emblazoned the gorgeous design with the phrase "Peace". While extremely popular in their initial release, the later dated Peace Dollars failed to see much circulation and as a result mintage was subsequently ended in 1935.
This became significant with the passing of legislation to create the Eisenhower dollar in 1971 - the first ever US dollar struck in "clad" - a mixture of copper and nickel. The 1935 Peace Dollar became the last ever circulated silver dollar the United States Mint would ever produce, making them a collector's dream!
