Design and Specifications of the 1924 Dollar
The 1924 Peace Dollar was part of the Peace Dollar series, which was introduced in 1921 to commemorate the peace following World War I. This coin represents a significant piece of American numismatic history, bridging the gap between the Morgan Dollar era and the modern coinage.
The Peace Dollar design, created by Italian-American sculptor Anthony de Francisci, features a young Lady Liberty on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse, symbolizing peace and strength. The 1924 issue was produced during a period of economic prosperity known as the “Roaring Twenties,” adding to its historical significance.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of a 1924 Peace Dollar significantly impacts its value. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) command substantial premiums, with those grading MS65 or higher being particularly valuable.
Key factors affecting condition include:
1. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full detail are more desirable.
2. Luster: Original mint luster adds to the coin’s appeal and value.
3. Contact marks: Fewer marks, especially on Liberty’s cheek and in the fields, increase value.
4. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance value, particularly for the San Francisco issue.
The 1924-S Peace Dollar is notably more valuable in high grades due to its lower mintage and the tendency for San Francisco coins to have weaker strikes.

Additional factors influencing the 1924 Peace Dollar’s value include:

2. Silver content: The coin’s 90% silver composition provides intrinsic value.
3. Mint mark: The San Francisco (S) issue generally commands a premium over the Philadelphia issue.
4. Overall eye appeal: Coins with attractive surfaces and minimal distractions are more valuable.
5. Provenance: Coins with a known history or from famous collections may carry a premium.
While not considered a key date in the series, the 1924 Peace Dollar, especially the S-mint, is an important type coin and a popular choice for collectors assembling Peace Dollar sets.
