1927 Dollar, MS66
Tied for Finest at Both Services

1927 $1 MS66 PCGS. While many collectors believe the 1928 Philadelphia issue is the rarest Peace dollar in Mint State, it is the 1927 that actually wears the crown as the rarest P-mint issue in Uncirculated grades, despite a mintage more than twice as high as the 1928 date. Nevertheless, the 1927 remains underappreciated and undervalued among many collectors. It is also rarer in high Mint State grades, where neither the 1927 nor the 1928 exceed Premium Gem condition.

This is a splendid, delicately toned 1927 Premium Gem coin, with Liberty's portrait unblemished and bold hair definition. The reverse displays a similarly sharp strike, with full details throughout the eagle's plumage and a sharp peripheral strike. Golden undertones join soft silver luster that glows from all viewing angles. A tiny reeding mark are hidden at the eagle's shoulder, unseen without magnification and of no consequence for the MS66 grade. No examples are finer at either service. Population: 22 in 66, 0 finer (8/21).
