Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1935 Peace Dollars significantly impacts their value. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) are highly sought after by collectors, with premium prices for specimens grading MS65 or higher. The strike quality can vary, with well-struck examples commanding higher prices.
Luster is a crucial factor, with coins displaying full, cartwheel luster being more desirable. Natural toning, if present, can enhance the coin’s appeal and value, especially if it’s attractive and even across the surface.

Provenance can play a role in value, with coins from notable collections or with a documented history potentially commanding higher prices. Additionally, examples with exceptional eye appeal, regardless of technical grade, may see increased demand from discerning collectors.
