Technically the 1922 Peace dollar is the second year of release for the Peace dollar as the Philadelphia mint struck a little over a million Peace dollars for circulation in 1921. In 1922 the 3 US mints combined to strike over 80 million Peace dollars and although many may have been melted since then many have survived and can usually be purchased at a reasonable cost even in uncirculated condition. The one I recently purchased is going to the mother of a friend who will be 95 this year. Another recent purchase went to a friends father in law as a gift for his 95th birthday that he celebrated a month ago.

This is a common coin with the highest mintage in the Peace Dollar series. If a collector wants to start out with Peace Dollars you could start out with the common dates in BU which you can purchase at a reasonable price. Make sure they have luster and not that grayish look to them in BU,other wise you may be buying something that is AU.

If you want a round coin made of 90% silver then this is it. It even has a picture of a pretty lady on the front and an eagle on the back. If you have never seen an eagle or a pretty lady you really need to buy one of these coins. Or you can buy a Morgan silver dollar and see a different pretty lady and an eagle. But please don't buy any yet because it might make the price go up and I want to buy two more. Thank you. Does anyone detect sarcasm in this review?
