1923-S Peace Dollar, MS66
Attractive Original Toning
Condition Census Registry-Grade Rarity

1923-S $1 MS66 PCGS. Ex: JDC. This is a stunning Premium Gem of the utmost conditional rarity. By certified population, the 1923-S is firmly ranked as the fourth rarest Peace dollar in MS66 and better condition, with a combined PCGS and NGC record of just six grading events; only the 1925-S (one coin), 1927-S (three coins), and 1928-S (two coins) boast lower certified populations in these grades. By auction appearances, the 1923-S is also the fourth rarest in the series, with only three previous offerings of an MS66 or better piece known to us. In A Guide Book of Peace Dollars, Roger Burdette ranks the 1923-S as the second rarest Peace dollar in MS66 or better, writing in part, "in Gem and better, it is extremely rare."

The JDC coin is only the second MS66 piece we have handled. The other example we handled in this grade was an MS66 PCGS coin in our April 2011 Central States Signature, which realized $31,050 -- a total that still stands as the auction record for a 1923-S dollar. This piece has the potential to break that record. It is one of just three examples in this grade on the PCGS Population Report, and only a single MS67 coin -- Ex: Jack Lee -- is finer (6/21). The JDC piece displays frosty, radiant mint luster that illuminates pristine fields and devices. Attractive amber-red and sunset-gold toning appears in the margins, framing warm champagne interiors. The 1923-S is famous for being weakly struck, and this piece is slightly soft in the centers, but the overall quality and eye appeal are stunning for the issue. Population: 3 in 66, 1 finer (6/21).
