1924 Peace $1 NGC MS65
Morgan Silver Dollars are some of the most popular silver dollar coins ever made by the US Mint. But assembling a complete set of these coins is difficult and expensive – in virtually all grades. Morgan Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1904 and again, for one year, in 1921, due to a shortage of silver coins.
But in that year, after World War I had ended and many of our young soldiers made it back home safely, there was a desire for a new coin to be struck. The public wanted a younger looking Miss Liberty on our silver dollar coins and they wanted a coin that would commemorate that the Great War had ended.
A competition was created, and numerous designs were submitted by many experienced coin designers. The winner of this competition was one of the least likely candidates to win it. This designer, whose obverse and reverse designs were selected, was the youngest person in the competition and he had never designed a winning coin creation.
Anthony de Francisci, an immigrant from Italy, who had come to America in 1905 beat all the other coin designers. De Francisci, had become an American citizen in 1913 and he was fortunate enough to win this competition.
The fact that he had created a youthful-looking Miss Liberty was no surprise. He had wisely convinced his 24-year-old wife to model for her portrait. But he did much more than that. As this was one of the first new designs of the “Roaring Twenties,” his image of his wife was well-received, and he created a truly modern coin for the era.
On his obverse, Miss Liberty wore a radiant crown with the sun’s rays emanating from it. She faces to the left and the word “LIBERTY,” adorns the upper periphery and the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” with the letter “U” represented in the Roman style “V,” which is separated by the truncation of Miss Liberty’s neck. The date of minting is below Miss Liberty’s neck.
The reverse depicts an American Bald Eagle, wings folded, perched on a rock, upon which the word “PEACE,” in inscribed. There are many rays of the sun behind the eagle. On the upper periphery is inscribed, in two lines, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and the motto, “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The denomination, “ONE DOLLAR,” is also separated by the eagle.
This coin was struck in 1924, and it was struck by the Philadelphia Mint. There is no mintmark present, as is typical for the Philadelphia Mint. The Mint struck a large number of coins that year - 11,811,000 silver dollar coins in total.
