Less Than 1% BU Survival 1923-S Peace Silver Dollar BU Ì´ÌÔ Vast numbers of this early San Francisco Mint Peace dollar issue were lost in government melts of World War II. Today a silver dollar encyclopedia estimates that as few as 0.2% (one in 500) of the original 1923-S production may exist today in mint-state quality. Yet the 1923-S Peace dollar is reasonably affordable in our Brilliant Uncirculated quality. The reason is that a good number survive in circulated grades. Nice original luster and no sign of wear.
Reduced Production 1925-S Peace Silver Dollar BU Ì´ÌÔ Congress imposed a quota on the minting of Peace dollars: not to exceed the number of Morgan dollars melted during World War I. By 1925, the San Francisco Mint output had dwindled to 1.6 million, vastly reduced from 19 million in 1923. Today as few as 22,000 (just 1%) of the 1925-S production are estimated to survive in mint-state quality (a good deal more exist in circulated grades). Our Brilliant Uncirculated quality has attractive luster and no wear (some bag marks are present, as is normal).
