Twelve (12) 1923 Peace Silver Dollars Mixed Mint Group .900 Fine Silver - Group of twelve 1923 Peace Silver Dollars, including examples from Philadelphia (no mintmark) and San Francisco (1923-S), struck in .900 fine silver, each containing 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver (total silver content approximately 9.28 troy ounces). The 1923 issue represents the second full year of Peace dollar production and one of the higher-mintage dates of the series (Philadelphia: 30,800,000; San Francisco: 19,020,000), making it a staple for both silver investors and type collectors. The coins display the classic Anthony de Francisci Liberty portrait with radiant crown and the heraldic eagle reverse symbolizing post?World War I peace. Strike quality varies within the group, typical for the issue, with moderate central softness seen on some examples, particularly in the hair above Liberty?s ear and the eagle?s breast feathers. Luster ranges from subdued to moderate, with several coins showing original silver-gray patina; surface preservation varies from lightly circulated to moderately circulated, with scattered contact marks consistent with commercial storage in 2x2 holders. This is an attractive silver-weight lot offering both historic numismatic appeal and strong intrinsic bullion backing. Condition: Mixed circulated grades, approximately Fine to About Uncirculated overall. Some coins exhibit heavier toning and surface spotting; others show stronger detail and brighter surfaces. Sold as a group.
