Production of Peace dollars resumed in 1934 after a six-year hiatus.
The Silver Purchase Act of 1934 required the Mint to purchase domestically produced silver at a price higher than the commercial market value as in the depths of the Depression the commodity's value had slipped to historic lows. The act stimulated silver production and some of it was used to mint silver dollars.
The 1934 Peace Dollar is one of just four dates in the design type with a mintage that fell below one million coins. The Philadelphia Mint produced Peace dollars of good quality this year, with solid strikes and good luster.
The obverse of the coin has a bust of a female facing the left with a pointed crown and flowing hair. The obverse text on the Peace Dollar reads "Liberty; In God We Trust (Trust); 1924."
The reverse text on the silver dollar reads "United States of America; E Pluribus Unum; One Dollar; Peace." The reverse of the Peace Dollar has an eagle sitting on a rock in the center with rays in the background.
