About this product
Product Information
<h2>Ron Guth</h2><p>The 1925 Peace Dollar is one of the more common dates in the series, though it is not nearly as plentiful as 1922 and 1923. In Mint State condition, the 1925 Peace Dollar can be found with ease, including in Gem conditions up to MS-66. Like most Peace Dollar dates, the 1925 becomes rare in MS-67 condition. PCGS has graded a single example in MS-68, one of only two such coins in the series (the other is an MS-68 1924). In terms of strike, the 1925 usually comes with nice, if not full, details. Luster is usually good and sometimes very reflective, with a crisp metallic sheen and booming luster. Bagmarks can be expected, but they are usually light and fewer in number than on most other dates. Most Mint State examples come with good eye appeal and, at the top end of the condition ladder, the visual appeal can be stunning. For type purposes, the 1925 Peace Dollar is a good candidate.</p><p>According to a notice in the June 1934 issue of <em>The Numismatist</em> (p. 416), collectors could still purchase Uncirculated 1925 Peace Dollars directly from the U.S. Treasury for "the face value of the coins and an amount sufficient to cover the mail charrges by first-class mail."</p><h2>Q. David Bowers</h2>The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993).<br/><br/>Coinage Context <br/><br/>Large mintage: This was the last large-mintage issue in the Peace dollar series, the last issue to cross the 10 million mark. <br/><br/>Numismatic Information <br/><br/>Once rare: In 1940, the 1925 Peace dollar was considered to be the rarest Philadelphia Mint issue in Mint State; but by 1945 it was considered second rarest (after the 1923). In numerous offerings early in that decade it was priced higher than the 1934-S. In 1945 at the sale of the Frederick C.C. Boyd Collection (billed as "The World's Greatest Collection" by the auctioneer, the Numismatic Gallery) an Un-circulated 1925 crossed the block at $6, outranking in price all other Peace dollars except the then-rare 1923, which fetched $9. By comparison, a 1934-S in Mint State was knocked down to a bidder for only $4.50. <br/><br/>However, by late 1940s, enough had been released from Treasury vaults that the 1925 Peace dollar was demoted to the status of a plentiful issue. Walter H. Breen in his Encyclopedia stated that many of the 1925 dollars paid out in the 1940s were heavily bagmarked. Apparently, most of these newly issued coins disappeared into collections and into the "woodwork," so that by the early 1950s, the 1925 was back on the scarce; list again. Catalogue values remained high until hundreds of bags were released in 1954-55, after which the date became very common. I remember selling a large quantity to Charles E. Green, of Chicago, who traded under the name of R. Green. I had obtained the coins for face value at a local bank. <br/><br/>By the mid to late 1950s, the 1925 Peace dollar was so common that specimens were a nuisance for dealers searching for rare dates. I recall that at the time they were a drug on the market, along with 1922, 1923, and, to an extent, 1924 (the 1924, common elsewhere, seemed to be somewhat more elusive in Pennsylvania, where I searched through dollars). However, by the early 1960s, most must have been distributed, for Wayne Miller in 1982 wrote that in his experience, bags of 1925 dollars were elusive. Perhaps he was referring to the West, where, apparently, few bags of Philadelphia Mint Peace dollars were paid out. <br/><br/>This date has a place in the heart of John Highfill, who wrote in his 1992 Comprehensive Encyclopedia that a bag of 1925 coins was the first original bag of Peace dollars he ever bought, in a career which eventually included handling many bags of many different dates
