Gobrecht Dollar Appraisal

1927 Peace Silver Dollar

The item is a United States Peace Silver Dollar, specifically dated 1927, visible on the obverse. It features a portrait of Lady Liberty in profile, facing left, her head adorned with a radiate crown, representing freedom. The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed above her head, and the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is along the lower left rim, with the date "1927" clearly legible below. The coin appears to be made of a metallic material, likely silver, given its historical context as a Peace Silver Dollar. Its color is a dull, aged silver or grayish-brown, indicating a developing patina from exposure and age, rather than being brightly polished. The surface shows some uniform toning. It is currently enclosed within a square, transparent plastic coin holder or 'slab,' which likely serves to protect it from further handling and environmental damage. There are no obvious deep scratches, dents, or significant surface abrasions visible through the plastic, suggesting a relatively well-preserved condition for its age. The details of Liberty's hair, crown rays, and facial features appear distinct, indicating a good strike and moderate wear. The coin's circular shape and standard dollar size are evident, though exact dimensions cannot be determined from the image. The craftsmanship is consistent with early 20th-century U.S. coinage, known for its intricate designs and robust construction. The item's primary distinguishing elements are its design and the specific mintage year. No mint mark is clearly visible in this view, which would typically be located near the bottom of the reverse side. The condition appears to be in an 'About Uncirculated' to 'Extremely Fine' range based on the visible details and toning.
