World War I was called the “war to end all wars” a century ago due to its brutality. This prediction was wrong—a larger world war arrived a few decades later, followed by a series of smaller battles.
The end of World War I was met with such hope that the U.S. Mint issued “Peace” coins that are now quite valuable.
The Peace silver dollar commemorated peacetime after World War I in 1918, according to an Atlanta Gold & Coin Buyers blog.
Coin displays a crowned Lady Liberty on front and an American eagle viewing sunrise on reverse. From 1921 to 1928, 1934, and 1935, the Peace dollar was issued.
What Are Peace Dollars Worth? Atlanta Gold & Coin Buyers remarked that most Peace silver dollars were immediately circulated and “show evidence of regular use” and have “somewhat nominal value” outside of their silver content.
With 360,000 coins minted, the 1928-P (Philadelphia-issued) Peace silver dollar is the rarest and most valuable in circulation. Coins can cost $150 to $300, depending on condition.
Is $132,000 Coin Common? However, the $132,000 coin was unusual. Some Peace dollars are worth a lot, but most aren't. Coin Trackers lists 10 of the most valuable Peace dollars:
