The Silver Peace Dollar: A Beautiful Investment
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
In my opinion the Peace dollar, first circulated in 1921, is the most beautiful of the circulated U.S. coins. It is made mostly of silver giving it a white sheen that clad cins do not possess. The obverse features the head of liberty, looking foward with her lips slightly pursed. The reverse shows an eagle perched on a rock inscribed with the word "Peace" to commemorate the end of WWI. Not only is this coin a piece of history and a piece art, it is an investment. Precious metals have proven to be one of the safest long term investments and have intrinsic value anywhere in the world, so a silver coin is almost guaranteed to increase in value over time. As with all numismatic investments, the better condition, the greater the the value, so BU or AU coin is the best way to go (although condition does not diminish a coin's historical value if you are just collecting for fun).
I recently purchased a 1923 uncirculated from an ebay seller and I am quite pleased. There are a few marks on the coin, probably from being in a roll or bank bag, but I buffed away most of the blemishes with a jewler's cloth. I certainly reccomend that anyone wishing to expand their coin collection check eBay first.
I am trilled with my new coin as both a collectable and an investment!
