In the 1960s, Western legislators called for the mintage of a new silver dollar for the first time in 30 years. Bearing one of the most beautiful designs in American coinage, a total of 316,076 of these silver dollars were minted, all dated 1964 to discourage hoarding, and all carrying the "D" mintmark on the reverse. But then something unexpected happened: A historic rise in silver prices prompted a severe coin shortage, so Congress ordered these beautiful new coins to be melted! Now, we're pleased to present a stunning pure silver tribute to these never-released coins with the 1964 Peace Silver Dollar 1 Oz. 99.9% Proof Coin, available in an exclusive presentation from The Bradford Exchange Mint. Privately issued, this stunning rare coin collectible tribute faithfully recaptures Anthony de Francisci's original Art-Deco-inspired design.

Minted with one full ounce of 99.9% pure silver, this coin is struck with Proof quality coining dies to create its elegant frosted imagery and brilliant, mirror-bright fields. It faithfully recaptures the design of the famed Peace Silver Dollar with the fabled 1964 mintage. The obverse side of the coin faithfully recaptures Anthony de Francisci's Lady Liberty, modeled after his wife Teresa, who as a young child admired the Statue of Liberty on her journey to America. The reverse side of the coin portrays an eagle clutching an olive branch perched on a rock inscribed with the word "PEACE". Your Proof coin arrives sealed within a crystal-clear, tamper-proof holder with a holographic seal and bar code. Plus, you'll receive a deluxe display box with a rich mahogany finish and gleaming title plaque, perfect for showcasing your magnificent Peace Dollar for years to come.
