The Peace Dollar was struck from the same composition as the previous Morgan dollar, 90% silver and 10% copper. While Morgan silver dollars are known to have toned in exciting colors, most peace dollars are scarcely found with any color on the surfaces. Unlike the earlier issues, Peace Dollars were generally not saved in massive quantities for many decades in Mint bags, which would have provided the opportunity to tone in wild and much appreciated colors.
The remaining coin specifications for the Peace Dollar were the same as used in prior silver dollars. The mint mark appears on the reverse of the coin near the Eagle's tail feathers below the "One" from "One Dollar." The "D" mint mark is used for coins produced at the Denver Mint and the "S" mint mark is used for coins produced at the San Francisco Mint
