1923 Silver Dollar Appraisal

Peace Dollar (1923)

The item is a silver-colored coin, identified as a Peace Dollar, specifically dated 1923, as seen on the obverse. The coin displays the left-facing profile of Lady Liberty, with radiant rays emanating from behind her head, characteristic of the Peace Dollar design. Her hair is depicted in a flowing style, and a laurel wreath appears to adorn her head, though specific details are somewhat obscured. The word "LIBERTY" is visible above her head, and "IN GOD WE TRVST" (with a V instead of U, which is typical for this coin series) is inscribed to her left. The mint mark, if present, is not clearly discernible in the provided image. The coin exhibits a metallic, likely silver, luster, which has dulled over time, suggesting some level of wear and environmental exposure. There are several dark spots or tarnishes visible, particularly below Liberty's chin and to the left of the '9' in the date, indicating signs of age and handling. The overall condition appears to be circulated, meaning it has been used in commerce, which generally results in a loss of finer details and an accumulation of scratches and scuffs, though these are not distinctly visible here due to the image's resolution. The edges of the coin are not visible, so the type of reeding (if any) cannot be determined. The coin's design, style, and visible date place it within the Art Deco period, when the Peace Dollar was first introduced.
