Market value and scarcity
Although the total number of 1922 Peace Dollars issued was approximately 51.73 million, only approximately 63,856 have been awarded the PCGS MS64 grade. The number of higher grades (MS65 and above) is significantly reduced, so the remaining high-grade 1922 Peace Dollars are highly valued in the collector's market.
The PCGS Price Guide Value is approximately $110, making it an attractive coin with the potential for future price increases. Its rarity is increasing in Japan, making it a highly sought-after collectible item.

Historical Background: The Pittman Act and the Era of Mass Casting
The 1922 Peace Dollar was mass-produced as part of the re-minting policy under the Pittman Act. During World War I, the U.S. government melted down a large amount of silver coins and sold them as silver bullion, which required them to be re-minted after the war.
As a result, 1922 was the year with the largest number of U.S. silver coins ever minted. However, even though a large number of coins were minted, the number of coins in good condition has gradually decreased over time, and high-grade coins certified by PCGS are expected to become increasingly rare in the future.
⸻
Aesthetic value: Highly artistic design
Beyond its functionality as a coin, the Peace Dollar also has value as a work of art. The profile of the Statue of Liberty on the obverse, created by sculptor Anthony De Francis, exudes delicate and dignified beauty, while the eagle on the reverse conveys a powerful message as a symbol of the coming of peace and hope.
After 1922, the design was slightly modified, changing from high relief to low relief, which improved the efficiency of issuance, but coins that retain the deep detail of the original are particularly valuable.
