Why this coin matters

The 1923-S Peace Dollar was struck at the San Francisco Mint with a recorded mintage of 19,020,000 coins — the 22nd-lowest of the 24 circulation-strike issues in the peace dollar series, and 34% of the 56,631,000 peace dollars the Mint produced across all facilities in 1923.

Huge mintage but notoriously soft strikes - a common coin that becomes a rarity in gem condition.

A full collector's note for this issue — survival, strike character, and what to check before buying — is on the writing schedule; the figures above are the permanent record.
