How to Spot a Fake Peace Dollar
Counterfeit Peace Silver Dollar coins are increasingly common. Use the acoustic verifier above as your first line of defense, then check these key red flags:
- 🚨Incorrect weight (should be exactly 26.73g; fakes often weigh 23-25g or slightly overweight)
- 🚨Wrong diameter (should be 38.1mm)
- 🚨Magnetic attraction (genuine 90% silver coins are not magnetic)
- 🚨Mushy or soft details on Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers
Tip: Sophisticated counterfeits can fool visual inspection alone. Always use the acoustic verifier above alongside precise weight and dimension measurements.
About the Peace Dollar
The Peace Dollar was minted from 1921 to 1935 to commemorate the end of World War I. Designed by Anthony de Francisci, it features Lady Liberty wearing a radiant crown on the obverse and a bald eagle perched on a rock with the word 'PEACE' on the reverse. The 1921 High Relief version and the 1928-P are among the most sought-after and commonly counterfeited dates.
