1934-S Peace Dollar, MS66+
PCGS Plate Coin, CAC Approval
Finest We Have Handled

1934-S $1 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. "Start with the keys" is an age-old adage, the logic being that demand for the most challenging issues in any given series will continue to rise, making acquisition increasingly difficult. Advanced Peace dollar collectors know well that the 1934-S is where new collectors should start this series.

The 1934-S Peace dollar was struck to the extent of barely more than 1 million coins, ranking it among the lowest-mintage issues in the set and a key date by that metric alone. However, the 1934-S also boasts a reputation for being one of the most elusive issues in the entire series. Indeed, it is the single scarcest entry in the set up through grades as high as MS64.

The PCGS Population Report shows most Uncirculated examples of the 1934-S in a tight range of MS62 to MS64, with the totals for each of those grades being significantly lower than for any other date in the series. There are only a couple hundred submissions at that service in MS65, and this is one of 42 Premium Gems reported. Further, it is one of just eight MS66 representatives at PCGS with an added Plus designation. None at all are finer.

This is the main plate coin for PCGS CoinFacts and the single finest example we have ever offered. Both sides are thickly frosted and nearly all-brilliant. Specks of mottled crimson and olive toning along parts of the borders serve as the only hints of color and confirm the surface originality. A few ticks are well-hidden within Liberty's middle curls. Population: 42 in 66 (8 in 66+), 0 finer. CAC: 20 in 66, 0 finer (10/21).(Registry values: N4719)
