The Peace Dollar (1921-1935): A Date by Date Analysis Peace dollar. There are many reasons the series is attractive. Made of 90% silver, and trading at lower premiums than their Morgan Dollar counterparts, silver bugs are introduced to the series buying the silver content. The availability of premium gems has collectors building a 20th-century type set adding high-quality common date specimens to their sets. Morgan collectors begin building the set as an adjunct to their collections, especially when their collector urge is slowed by the tougher examples in the Morgan series. Enthusiasts of the “Renaissance” era (1907 – 1921) will seek visually appealing examples of the high-relief 1921, considered by some as one of the most beautiful works from the era. Whether set building, buying monetized bullion, or just finding a nice type coin, most collectors eventually have a reason to buy at least one. Regardless of their introduction, many are pulled in by the allure of the coin both historically and artistically.
