1922-1935 Peace Silver Dollar VG-XF (random year) - 0.7734 troy ounces - .900 bullion
Meaning "shining" or "white", named argentum in Latin from which the chemical symbol Ag is derived, and known since ancient times having even been mentioned in the Book of Genesis, silver has been a prized and highly sought after precious metal throughout human history. It has been used as money as early as 700 B.C. when electrum (a silver and gold alloy) was first coined by the Lydians. The Greek and later Roman empires also coined silver money as early as the 4th century B.C. Silver has been an indomitable staple of world currencies from those ancient times until relatively recently when the gold standard was abandoned and fiat currencies prevailed. It is also an indispensable industrial metal. It is a soft, malleable, lustrous elemental metal that also possesses the highest electrical conductivity, the highest thermal conductivity and the highest reflectivity of any metal. These unique properties make it almost irreplaceable in a myriad of industrial processes and commercial applications including photography, X-rays, electronics, telescopic mirrors, solar energy panels and windows, water purification systems and as a chemical catalyst. It has strong disinfectant properties which are becoming more utilized in medicine to control and prevent infections in an age of devastating nosocomial superbugs.
Called Constitutional Silver, these Peace Silver Dollars are 90% silver (each containing .7734 troy ounces of silver to be exact) as specified by the U.S. Constitution along with gold to be the legal tender of our country. Certainly millions and millions of these silver dollars were issued beginning nearly 100 years ago, but many if not most have been melted for their silver content long ago. No one knows for sure how many are left. These Peace Silver Dollars are still in very good or extra fine (VG-XF) condition and were minted from 1922 through 1928 and again in 1934 and 1935, though most are from 1922 and 1923.
