“1929-S”, “1930-D”, “1931-S”, “1932-D”, “1933-S”, and “1943-S” Fantasy Over-Struck High-Relief Peace Dollars – Production Blog

No US silver dollars were minted from 1929 to 1933, or from 1936-1963. These “1931-S” and “1943-S” fantasy date over-strikes have a high relief obverse like the 1921 issue, and a high relief reverse based on the original “Broken Sword” model. The original design for the Peace Dollar had the Eagle clutching a broken sword on the reverse. Just before the original 1921 Peace Dollars were minted, the sword was removed from the tooling by modifying the sculpt and the engraving. In a similar process, the reverse of these over-strikes is based on the original Broken Sword model, but the sword has been removed via sculpting and engraving.

First produced August, 2019.

 

All are over-struck on US Mint Peace Silver Dollars that were minted from 1922 to 1935.

All have a tiny die chip (raised mole) on the obverse near the mouth.

Some faint circular lathe marks show on the obverse and reverse near the rims.

The letters “PLUR” of PLURIBUS are thin due to excessive lapping of the die.

The excess lapping also caused some sun rays below DOLLAR to fade out in places.
The last 28 struck (20 high-grade, 3 bag-handled, 5 circulated) have minor tooling
on the weak devices of the reverse die.
