Outstanding 1934-S Dollar, MS66
Key to the Peace Dollar Series

1934-S $1 MS66 PCGS. Ex: Larry Shapiro Collection. The 1934-S has long been regarded as the key to the Peace dollar series. In addition to having one of the smaller mintages (slightly more than 1 million pieces), many of these coins were released into circulation, making Uncirculated examples fairly rare. Moreover, Roger Burdette in his 2008 Peace Dollars reference points out that the '34-S is the rarest issue in Mint State within the entire series.
The MS66 coin presented here is one of the 38 Premium Gems certified by either PCGS or NGC. No pieces grade higher. Its untoned surfaces display radiant luster and an above-average strike. While not quite full, the central areas show none of the flatness typically seen on this issue. Were it not for a few trivial marks and luster grazes, this coin might actually lay claims to the next highest grade! Population: 24 in 66, 0 finer (11/10).
From The Dr. Barry Southerland Collection II.(Registry values: N4719)
