1934-S Peace Dollar, MS66+
Tied for Finest at PCGS
Ex: Pogue

1934-S $1 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. The 1934-S, with a mintage of 1,011,000 pieces, is the key Peace dollar issue in Mint State. In an August 14, 1995 article in Coin World, Randy Campbell stated: "Apparently, most of the 1934-S dollars were released into circulation soon after striking. By the 1960s, this date was universally regarded as the 'king of the Peace dollar series,' because of its perceived rarity in Uncirculated condition."

Today the issue is usually available in grades through MS65, but Mint State coins as a whole are far scarcer than those of other dates. And in MS66, the 1934-S conditionally rare.

The finest coins include a lone MS67 piece reported at NGC, plus a handful of coins in MS66+ -- the latter being the finest examples in a PCGS holder. We have handled a few MS66+ PCGS CAC coins in recent years, which realized a range of prices from $55,200 to $78,000, depending on eye appeal and quality for the grade.

The former Pogue coin is undoubtedly among the finest 1934-S Peace dollars known. Radiant luster issues from both sides of this high-end Premium Gem, each of which possesses a thin veneer of pastel powder-blue and gold-beige patination. A sharp strike emboldens the design elements, further enhancing the coin's fantastic eye appeal. Close inspection reveals just a few minor luster grazes that do not distract. For the advanced Registry collector, no other example of the 1934-S will surpass this coin. Population: 45 in 66 (9 in 66+), 0 finer. CAC: 22 in 66, 0 finer (7/24).
