By early 1924, the U.S. dollar had become the benchmark world currency: one dollar temporarily equaled over 4 trillion German marks. A German poet expressed his longing for the "pretty dollar." This 1924 no-mintmark Philadelphia Mint issue's output was less than one-third of its previous year's. Today in our Brilliant Uncirculated quality it's scarcer than many early Morgan silver dollars. Ardent Liberty personification and peace-keeping eagle. 38.1mm
