1926 Peace Silver Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC.
A condition rarity whose offering in this sale will excite advanced Peace dollar enthusiasts. This is a brilliant and beautiful premium Gem with intense cartwheel luster effects to both sides. Fully struck. The 1926 is among the more readily obtainable Peace dollars in the finer Mint State grades, although Gems are much scarcer than those of the 1922 to 1925 Philadelphia Mint issues, as well as the first year 1921 High Relief. Many examples are not particularly vibrant in the luster category and this fact, when combined with the prevalence of tiny abrasions in the centers due to incomplete strikes, explains why many certified MS-66/66+ coins in today's market are of below average quality and eye appeal. In fact, the 1926 is one of the more underrated condition rarities in this series, being far more difficult to locate as a sharply struck, upper end Gem than many buyers realize. The present lot, therefore, represents an important opportunity for the astute, quality conscious Peace dollar collector.
