Description
Conditionally Rare Gem 1925-S Peace Dollar
1925-S $1 MS65 NGC. Shimmering mint frost over brilliant surfaces gives this impressive Gem a lovely arm's-length appearance, and closer inspection does not disappoint the viewer. The design elements reveal unusually crisp striking definition, for the type, and both sides of the coin are well preserved. A shallow scrape in the upper left reverse field is the only minor detraction. This issue is scarce at the MS65 grade level, and unknown any finer, at both grading services. According to Bowers (1993): "Uncirculated 1925-S dollars are much more plentiful than 1924-S, despite the lower mintage of 1925-S. However, in MS65 grade, the 1925-S is surprisingly rare. Indeed, it and the 1928-S are the two toughest varieties to find in this grade in the entire Peace dollar series." Census: 55 in 65, 0 finer (6/08).
