Starting with the 1926 Peace Dollar, the silver dollar coins started to be minted in much smaller quantities each year. From 1926 until the end of the series mintages for each date/mint combination were each less than 10 million, with four issues even falling below the one million mark.
The 1926 Peace Dollar minted in Philadelphia is generally available in gem grades. Coins are often encountered well struck with a satiny finish. The 1926-D Peace Dollar is one of the most common Denver Mint Peace Dollars to find in higher grades. The die cracks that were frequent on earlier issues are uncommon and most coins have excellent strikes and good luster. The 1926-S Peace Dollar is similarly available in high grades as a change from the earlier San Francisco Mint issues.
