*HIGHLIGHT OF NIGHT* 1924-s TOP POP Peace Dollar $1 Graded ms66 By SEGS (fc)
***Auction Highlight*** 1924-s TOP POP Peace Dollar $1 Graded ms66 By SEGS. HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT – Up for Auction is a Superb Key date of the Peace Dollar Series in ms66 Tied for Finest Known. An attractively original, exceptionally well preserved example of this key date Peace dollar issue. The surfaces are virtually untoned in silver-grey. The 1924-S is one of the better produced Peace dollar issues, and the present example does not disappoint in this regard, what with the detail universally sharp from the rims to the centers. It is the surface preservation, however, that truly sets this coin apart from the typical Mint State 1924-S dollar in today's market. Bathed in virtually pristine luster in a softly frosted texture, this extraordinary condition rarity would serve as a highlight in the finest Peace dollar set.The 1924-S represents a radical decline from the silver dollar mintages of previous years, with just 1,728,000 coins struck compared to the 19,020,000 made at the same mint the year before. Treasury vaults had been filling up over the previous three years and by 1924 there was little demand for more dollars, either for circulation or storage. Very few of these coins emerged throughout the 1940s and 1950s, and Q. David Bowers reports that the Redfield Hoard is said to have had only a few hundred individual coins. The low initial mintage and paucity of later releases insured that this issue ranks among the scarcer Peace dollars. Premium Gem examples like the present piece are rarities of the highest order, with most pieces noticeably abraded. Definitely a find for the astute bidder. I have included another ms66 example and an ms65+ for your comparison. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
