1927-D Peace Dollar, MS66+
Tied for Finest Known, CAC
Grand Registry Candidate

1927-D $1 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: JDC. Mint State 1927-D Peace dollars are generally available in grades through MS64, while coins in MS65 are elusive and only available to patient and well-heeled collectors. For advanced specialists and Registry builders, a few Premium Gems are known, these representing the finest examples of this elusive Denver issue known.

PCGS and NGC combined list 29 grading events for an MS66 coin, just six of which are Plus designated (6/21). Moreover, only seven Premium Gems in total have earned CAC recognition. That top-grade population is small for the Peace dollar series, but auction data suggest this issue is even rarer than the population reports indicate. Since our Auction Archives began in 1993, we have handled an MS66 coin only 11 prior occasions, just one of which was in the last decade. We have handled only two CAC-approved MS66 pieces in the past, which appeared in 2011 and 2012 and realized $43,125 and $32,200, respectively. No Plus-graded MS66 coin has ever appeared in our auctions.

The CAC-approved JDC coin is not only the single finest 1927-D Peace dollar we have seen, it is tied for the finest known -- a top Condition Census coin worthy of the finest Registry Set. Ivory-white luster is original, showing mint brilliance with no trace of toning aside from faint freckles of olive around UNI on the reverse. Central strike sharpness is outstanding, and the fields and Liberty's cheek are pristine. A stunning example of this conditionally challenging Denver issue. Population: 23 in 66 (5 in 66+), 0 finer. CAC: 7 in 66, 0 finer (6/21).
