“Drastic Reduction” 1924-S San Francisco Peace Silver Dollar --
In 1924, the San Francisco Mint produced merely 1.7 million Peace silver dollars. That output was a huge curtailment from the average of 18 million for the previous two years, just 9% of the prior year’s output. The only other 1924 U.S. Peace dollars were issued by the principal Philadelphia Mint. But seven times as many were struck there in 1924. Clearly detailed Very Fine quality.
Low-Mintage 1934-S San Francisco Peace Silver Dollar --
America’s last circulating silver dollar series was temporarily suspended in 1928 (when its Congressional mintage quota was reached), then briefly resumed in 1934-1935. This 1934-S San Francisco Mint issue (original mintage 1.0 million) is second only to the 1928 Philadelphia Mint issue in scarcity today. As few as 20,000 may survive in our Very Fine quality or higher grades. The “S” mintmark is below the eagle’s tail.
