Superior Premium Gem 1922-S Peace Dollar

1922-S $1 MS66 NGC. With a reported mintage of 17.5 million pieces, the 1922-S Peace dollar is a common issue in all grades. The typical example of the date leaves much to be desired aesthetically. Most specimens seen suffer from excessive bag marks, incomplete luster, and weak strikes. Q. David Bowers asserts, "All of the problems that beset the usual coin can be turned into an advantage for the careful buyer." Bowers notes some exceptional coins do exist, and they provide extraordinary value for the collector who is patient enough to seek them out.
The present coin possesses all the qualities usually lacking in examples of this date. The strike is dramatic, with remarkably strong centers and almost complete definition on the central hair and eagle's wing. The surfaces are brilliant throughout, with bright coruscating mint luster and no observable handling marks. The specimen offered here is virtually unimprovable, and no coin has been certified finer at either of the leading grading services. Census: 12 in 66, 0 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N2998)
