History of the 1926-D Peace Dollar

Large releases of coins with a San Francisco and Philadelphia Peace dollar seem to be historically well documented. This was not the case for the Denver Mint and it’s believed that not a single verified bag of 1926-D Peace dollars was released from the vaults before 1950. However, it’s almost certain that this can’t be the case and is thought that bags were released quietly into commercial use without much notice being paid.

Around 1954, some bags were released and were quickly spread out across the Midwest, but this didn’t have much impact on the value of the 1926-D Peace dollar.

The treasury released a lot of their stored Peace dollars between 1962-1964. Since then, the 1926-D Peace Silver dollar value has remained fairly steady, and despite being a very attractive coin, it hasn’t necessarily garnered the attention that it deserves.
