The story of the 2023-S
The 1964-D melt and the modern revival (1936 to 2024)
No Peace dollars were struck from 1936 until 1965, when Denver produced more than 316,000 coins dated 1964 under a congressional authorization. Rising silver prices made the plan unpopular and all were ordered melted. None are known to exist legally. Any coin offered as a 1964-D Peace dollar should be treated as a fantasy piece.
The design returned in 2021 as a .999 fine silver collector coin from Philadelphia, recreating the high relief look of 1921. After a pause in 2022 caused by a silver blank shortage, Peace dollars dated 2023 and 2024 were struck at Philadelphia and San Francisco. These coins weigh 26.73 grams and were sold directly to collectors. Nearly all survive in pristine condition in their original packaging.
How to recognize it
Anthony de Francisci's Liberty faces left wearing a crown of light rays, with LIBERTY above and the date below. The reverse shows an eagle at rest on a mountaintop, holding an olive branch, as the sun rises behind it, with the word PEACE on the rock. The mint mark is below the word ONE, near the tip of the eagle's wing.
