1928 Peace Silver Dollar
Until 1921, no new silver [dollars] had been minted within the United States for the reason that 1904 Morgan Dollar. Demand for silver [dollars] was low & there was no want for any extra mintage. The mixture of a piece of laws referred to as the Pittman Act & the desire for a coin to commemorate World Peace after the end of WWI in 1918 set the stage for the 1921 Peace Silver Dollar to be released.
The Pittman Act called for 350,000,000 present Morgan [Dollars] to be melted for bullion & for Congress to buy the equivalent amount of silver from US mines at a set price of 1 an ounce. This silver was to be used to mint a like number of new silver [dollars], & the ensuing 23 cent difference per greenback being considered a subsidy to the country’s silver producers.
The Morgan Dollar was minted at all three mints in 1921 to the tune of around 86 million coins. On the identical time the brand new Peace Dollar was being designed by Anthony DeFrancisci, a noted designer of medals. His design was decidedly totally different from previous designs in a few notable ways. First, his depiction of LIBERTY confronted left as an alternative of right as she did within the Morgan Dollar & Barber coins of the era, & she wears a crown of rays round her head. His Eagle is at rest with wings folded on the reverse, fairly than in flight as or with wings spread as in previous coin designs. The Eagle stands on a mound with the word PEACE on it, with rays extending out from the mound. The most distinct distinction was the reduction of the coin. Being a designer of medals DeFrancisci used the high reduction design [that a] medal would bear, something not yet tried on a US coin design.
Once the Peace design was ready, mintage of Morgans was suspended & 1,006,473 1921 Peace [Dollars] had been struck at the Philadelphia mint. This was the only 12 months that the coin was not minted not less than 1 of the other 2 department mints, making the this 1921 silver greenback the one design to not bear a mint mark. In subsequent years the mint mark would seem on the reverse underneath the Eagle’s tail feathers. The coins have been very detailed because of the excessive relief, but this additionally made them troublesome stack & the design was modified to low reduction in 1922 & from then on the coins had a standard low relief.
The mixture of its low mintage, unique high relief design, & first yr of launch makes the 1921 Peace Greenback a really collectible & very desirable coin. The design was halted after solely seven years in 1928 as a result of requirements of the Pittman Act being met. It made a brief reappearance in 1934 & 1935 before being once again discontinued. It was the last true Silver Greenback design within the United States, with the Eisenhower & Susan B. Anthony [Dollars] being clad with no silver content.
