Description
1925-S Peace Dollar, MS65
Tied for Second Finest at PCGS
Major Condition Rarity
1925-S $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: JDC. The 1925-S is famously
one of the two biggest condition keys in the Peace dollar series,
closely rivaling the 1928-S for status as the rarest Peace dollar
in Gem condition. According to certified population figures, the
1925-S is minutely more plentiful in Gem and finer grades than the
1928-S, but according to actual availability of this issue at
auction, the two dates are about identical in scarcity. When Roger
Burdette wrote the text for A Guide Book of Peace Dollars
(2008), the 1925-S was unknown finer than MS65; today, NGC lists a
single MS66 coin, but there is still not so much as an MS65+ at
PCGS. The JDC example is tied for finest at PCGS, and it is one of
only nine pieces in this grade with CAC approval. Luster is frosty
and well-preserved, complementing above-average strike sharpness.
Faint ivory tinting warms the obverse, while the reverse displays
dusky peach-amber toning. Eye appeal is outstanding for the issue,
as recognized by CAC. Population: 54 in 65 (1 in 65+), 0 finer.
CAC: 9 in 65, 0 finer (3/23).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 257M, PCGS# 7366, Greysheet# 7904)
