<B>1934-S $1 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> The 1934-S is one of the key dates in the Peace dollar series. Relatively few of these were apparently saved, perhaps because dealers and collectors in the 1930s and 1940s believed that hundreds of thousands of the coins were stored at the San Francisco Mint or in banks, and would eventually become available. By the time it was realized that most of these coins were placed in circulation, it was too late to preserve many of them. Then in the 1960s when millions of remaining silver dollars were released from Treasury storage, it was confirmed there were no remaining 1934-S dollars to be had, and prices for Uncirculated coins began to reflect their true rarity (Minneapolis Gold, Silver & Numismatic Services, Inc., Volume. 4, 2000, Issue 4).<BR> Potent luster radiates from both sides of this Premium Gem, and freckles of russet concentrate at the margins, leaving the center areas essentially untoned. A better-than-average strike imparts sharp definition to the design features, including most of Liberty's hair and the eagle's plumage. A few grade-consistent luster grazes do not detract. Population: 23 in 66, 0 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Anthony de Francisci<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
