Description
Authentic 1923 United States Peace Silver Dollar featuring Anthony de Francisci's iconic design of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a perched eagle on the reverse. This coin was minted to commemorate the peace following World War I. It is a circulated specimen with a natural aged patina.
Key Features
High silver content (90%), historic 1920s era, popular 'Peace' design favored by collectors, intrinsic bullion value regardless of condition.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The profile of Liberty, font of 'TRUST' (which uses a 'V' as per the design), and the specific wear patterns are consistent with genuine 1923 strikes. Weight and ping tests would confirm, but visual cues are consistent with a real mint product.
Flaws to Note
Significant wear on the hair details above the ear; surface oxidation/darkening (toning); small contact marks and scratches; no luster remaining (it is a 'flat' circulated coin).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (highest reach), local coin shops (fastest cash but lower offer), Mercari, or r/pmsforsale on Reddit for the best peer-to-peer margins.
Selling Tips
NEVER clean or polish the coin, as this destroys numismatic value. Take clear, high-resolution photos of both front (obverse) and back (reverse). Use keywords: '1923 Peace Dollar', '90% Silver', 'US Mint', 'Circulated'. Ship in a padded mailer with tracking.
