1924 Peace Dollar - Liberty Dollar
The Peace Dollar was minted in the years 1921 till 1928 and after a
6 year rest period again in the years 1934 and 1935. Before the
first peace dollar was struck there was an proposal
to mint the first peace dollars as commemorative issues, this to celebrate the
end of World War 1 (1914 -1918) but this never happened so the first peace dollar was issued as a
normal circulated peace dollar instead.
In 1965 some peace dollars were minted (dated 1964) but none of these
1964 peace dollars were issued for normal circulation. All examples of
this issue were never released to the public and were all melted.

When comparing the images from the two peace dollars above, both showing
the date 1924, the following differences are
easy to see on the counterfeit coin and not on the authentic peace
dollar.
- The numbers are not the same, note the 1 and 4 especially.
- The small "IN GOD WE TRUST" letters are not the same also.
- The mark above the 4 is very slippery, even other details are
not.
- In general very soft details and slippery surfaces.

The reverse side of the counterfeit peace dollar was having very fat
letters still but the eagle itself was very slippery. As you can see
this looks totally different with a normal worn peace dollar like the
authentic one we used for this example.
We have had the choice to use a more detailed authentic peace dollar
instead for this example as there are still plenty available, but for
comparing this coin we have chosen this peace dollar instead to present
a better comparison for our visitors. |
