1927 Coin Appraisal

1927 Peace Dollar

The item is a silver United States Peace Dollar, specifically dated 1927. The obverse side of the coin is visible, featuring a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty with a radiate crown, her hair flowing backwards. The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed above her head, partially obscured by the crown's rays. Below her chin, the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is faintly visible, due to wear and possibly dirt accumulation. The date "1927" is clearly legible at the bottom of the coin. The coin exhibits a tarnished, somewhat dull silver-gray color, indicating its age and exposure to the environment. There are numerous small scratches and abrasions across the surface, particularly noticeable on Liberty's face and neck, suggesting significant circulation. The fields of the coin show areas of uneven toning and some dark spots, possibly dirt or environmental residue. The relief details, while still discernible, appear softened from wear, especially on the high points of Liberty's hair and the facial features. The rim of the coin appears relatively intact, though some areas might show minor dings or flattening consistent with handling. No mint mark is immediately visible beneath 'ONE' (if present from the reverse), but the overall condition suggests a circulated example rather than a pristine or uncirculated specimen. The craftsmanship is typical of U.S. coinage from the early 20th century, characterized by detailed design work in the allegorical representation of peace after World War I.
