THE UNCIRCULATED
1921 PEACE DOLLAR HOARD A SILVER DOLLAR JACKPOT!

There are a select few coins through the history of the United States Mint with a better story than the fabled Peace
Dollar…and it all began with U.S. Victory & the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28th, 1919 to mark the official
end of the First World War, otherwise known as the ‘Great War’. As has become commonplace, United States Mint’s
production was largely dictated by what the U.S. governments needs were during wartime…and in this case, what
they needed was a new Dollar!
As the U.S. increased its involvement in the war in Europe, the government decided to enact the Pittman Act of
1918…an act which called for the melting of over 350 million Silver Dollars (Mostly Morgan Dollars) to help finance
the war effort. In fact, over two-thirds of the silver dollars melted down went to Great Britain to pay for the war!
The remaining silver was used by the U.S. Mint to re-release the Morgan again in 1921…but the public demanded
something new, something better!
As the Great War came to a close, the Nation needed a new dollar to signify their transition away from the years of
bloodshed and violence that had gripped them during the world war. They needed a coin to herald in the new era of
peace that was to be ushered in…and that is exactly what they decided to call the coin: The Peace!
The End of the Silver Dollar Era
The massive amounts of silver obtained by the Pittman Act were not to be endless and ran out in the year 1928…just
seven years after the new Silver ‘Peace” Dollars began production in 1921! The United States Stock Market would crash
the following year in 1929, sending the nation into the Great Depression. When you combine this period of economic
hardship with the already limited amount of silver left in the United States’ Treasury by 1928…it was almost inevitable
that the ‘Peace Dollar’ would become the last regular issue 90% Silver Dollar produced by the United States Mint.
Outside of limited short run minting in 1934 and 1935 due to special legislation passing, all of the fabled 90% Silver
Peace Dollars were minted between 1921 and 1928. The Silver Dollar’s primary design depicts an eagle at rest clutching
an olive branch, with the legend ‘Peace.’ The obverse shows a modern Lady Liberty with the motto “In God we Trust.”
Trust is spelled TRVST…the V for victory!
Did you know? The new Peace Dollar would be the first U.S. coin to be issued without congressional sanction?
A Mile-High Silver Discovery – A Silver Dollar Jackpot!
Save over $200 per coin!
The Peace Dollar has always been one of the most popular coins among collectors…but they have become even
harder to find in uncirculated condition in more recent years! Luckily, our team discovered a small hoard while at
the York Coin show in York, Pennsylvania! We purchased several bags of uncirculated silver dollars, and what we
found inside those bags was astonishing…more than a few of these Peace Dollars were still in stunning uncirculated
condition after all the years!
Our competition is selling uncirculated 1921 Peace Dollars for well over $2,000 apiece…but thanks to our lucky find,
we can offer you the same Uncirculated First Year of Issue 1921 Peace Silver Dollars for the unbelievable price of just
$595.00. But hurry! We only took the strongest looking coins of the hoard, so our quantity is going to be extremely
limited…and once these sell out, they are gone!
Remember, this year is the 100th Year Anniversary of the 1921 Peace Dollar.
All of our coins are in Fully Gem uncirculated quality – and if you order more than one, we will give you a $25.00
discount on each additional coin ordered.

DON’T PANIC

Liberia is seeking to quell public concern regarding the recent discovery of counterfeit $L500 bank notes.

The Central Bank of Liberia basically said, “Don’t economy largely through the commercial banks, which

written. Such an event might not normally cause much lated bank notes, as well as concluding the procurement
concern, but Liberia is currently introducing a new family process for the printing and minting of the remaining new
of currency. bank notes and coins.”
A statement released Jan. 5 by the central bank said, The statement continues, “Regarding the features on
“In addition to the first batch of L$4.0 billion of the new the newly printed L$100 and the existing L$500 bank

flipped, the seal on the bank notes becomes visible inside
the left white field, and the stars in the threads across the
notes do move. The counterfeit bank notes do not have
such features. Moreover, the paper used for the counterfeit
bank notes can be easily detected from their feel and look
as well.”
“While the CBL wants to reassure the public not to
panic about the recent situation as the counterfeit bank
notes can be easily recognized and detected, the public is
urged to alert the CBL and the Ministry of Justice with
any information relating to the use or introduction of any
counterfeit bank notes.”
The CBL’s Technical Committee for Currency Reform
has been working with the IMF experts to ensure an orderly
replacement of all current coins and bank notes. This
includes issuing coins rather than bank notes in denomina-
tions of L$10 and L$5. New bank notes are being released
in denominations of L$20, L$50, L$100, L$500, and
L$1,000. In late 2021 Liberia’s legislature gave the central
bank a mandate for coins and bank notes to be produced
in 2021, 2022, and in 2024.
Details of the situation involving the counterfeit L$500
notes were not immediately available. It is important since
this is a high value bank note and it wasn’t made clear if
the counterfeits involved the older or the new notes. The
L$1,000 is a new denomination.
According to Liberian sources, the new L$100 and
$L500 bank notes are printed using what was referred as
“slanted lines, making the edges rough.” Each note has
front to back registry of a seal. Stars in the security threads
appear to move. The same source indicated “The paper
used for the counterfeit bank notes can be easily detected
from their feel and look as well.” The central bank has
indicated the L$100 is the most commonly used bank note
in circulation.
Counterfeiting has been a problem in Liberia in recent
years. In a legislative discussion regarding changing the
physical currency in late March 2021 Senator Milton
Teahjay said, “I am in support of printing money, but we
don’t want to print money thinking we are making the
right decision but creating the problem. What is the plan to
prevent duplication of the bank note? If these measures are
assured, I will vote in favor of printing new bank notes.”
Liberia’s modern bank notes were introduced in 1989.
The $L5 note is known as a JJ due to the vignette of J.J.
Roberts appearing on the front. Liberty notes on which
Liberia’s heraldry replaced the vignette of Roberts fol-
lowed.
“Unified” notes on which former presidents appear
exchangeable at a ratio of one for two for JJ notes were
issued beginning in 2000. Minor changes to these notes
were made three years later. The L$500 denomination was
introduced in 2016 as the central bank introduced new
notes with enhanced security features.
The need for higher denomination bank notes continues
as Liberia wrestles with inflation. The annual inflation rate
was at 23.55 percent in 2018, 26.97 percent in 2019, 16.95
in 2020, and at 5.87 in 2021.

The Silver Coinage of Russia
1755–1761
By R.W. Julian

1755 silver 5 kopecks, struck at St. Petersburg.

THE FINAL YEARS of Empress Elizabeth, who reigned

from November 1741 to December 1761, were full of history.
This was the time of the Seven Years’ War in Europe and the
French & Indian War in Colonial America. The numismatic
scene, to the modern collector, is just as interesting because
of the many changes that occurred.
During the early to mid-1750s the government had
engaged in intensive discussions and investigation of the
factors that affected the monetary system. Count Peter
Ivanovich Shuvalov then made several detailed proposals for
improvement. The most prominent of these concerned the
gold and copper coinages, but silver also came in for its share 1755 St. Petersburg ruble, portrait by Benjamin Scott.
of variety.
The first major change in the silver coinage came with the
striking of 5-kopeck pieces in 1755. This new coin was autho-
rized by decrees of the State Senate dated May 25 and July 4.
This special legislative body frequently issued the necessary
orders when directed to do so by the Empress.
The 5 kopecks of 1755 are a very small coin, only about
16.5 mm in diameter. In many respects the design is quite
similar to the Baroque copper kopecks first struck in 1755.
(Silver 5-kopeck coins had been struck previously, but in the
time of Peter the Great, who had died in 1725.)
Single-headed eagles were on both sides of these new silver
coins, unlike the usual rule requiring two heads. Presumably 1757 10 kopecks, struck at Moscow.
the designer intended that one head be considered as behind
part of the design. On the other hand, it may be that the two
heads on opposite sides of the coin were considered the front coins of the United States. Normally, Russian coins had a die

Stack's Bowers Sells Over $20 Million in World
and Ancient Numismatics at 2022 NYINC
By Tom Michael

FOLLOWING A RECORD-BREAKING year in 2021, the

World and Ancient Coin Department at Stack’s Bowers
Galleries saw continued strong prices as over $20 million
in numismatic items crossed the block in their annual offi-
cial auction of the New York International Numismatic
Convention. (All prices include the buyer’s fee.)
The sale featured numerous important collections and
brought to light many treasures that had been off the market
for years. Part 1 of the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection
included Greek, Polish, and Russian rarities, many offered
for the first time since the 1930s. The Salton cabinet of Polish
gold exceeded expectations, generating strong prices far
beyond the catalog estimates, led by two large sized medal-
lic issues from the reign of Sigismund III. A 1595 Medal in
10 Ducat Weight struck in Vilnius and commemorating the
Union of Sweden into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
reached $480,000, more than three times the high estimate of
$150,000. A 1592 Medal in 7 Ducat Weight graded AU-55
by PCGS sold for $360,000, well above the high estimate of
$200,000. The Salton Collection also offered two extremely
rare Riga minted Ducats which are key additions to any
advanced collection of Polish hammered gold. The Riga issue
from 1599/88 graded MS-63 by PCGS closed at $126,000
against an estimate of $50,000-$80,000. The second Riga
piece, a 1584 Ducat from the Reign of Stephen Bathori grade
AU-50 by PCGS, was the stunner of the entire action as it
was bid up to $216,000, more than triple its presale high esti-
mate. It now holds the record for the highest price paid for a
Polish single Ducat at public auction.
The Salton Collection also offered plenty of treasures of
ancient numismatics and formed a major part of the ancient
coins presented at the sale. Two Dekadrachms from the time
of Dionysios I attracted much interest, one signed by Kimon
and graded NGC Ch VF Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5 Fine Style,
and the other signed by Euainetos and graded NGC Ch EF
Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5 Fine Style. The Kimon piece sold for The Gem Collection of British Campaign medals also

Commemorating Black History Featuring
Underground Railroad
THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, the
famous network of safe houses and secret
routes that helped enslaved people of African
descent escape to freedom in Canada, is the
subject of the Royal Canadian Mint’s latest
issue in its ongoing Commemorating Black
History coin series. Launched in conjunction
with the start of Black History Month, this
silver collector coin designed by Toronto artist
Kwame Delfish, portrays in a unique perspec-
tive the human side of the perilous northward
migration, which reached its peak in the 1850s
and 1860s. This moving new collectible became
available as of Feb. 1, 2022.
“The employees of the Royal Canadian
Mint are proud to once again add to the
national celebration of Black History Month
with a beautiful silver coin that brings the
important story of the Underground Railroad
to life,” said Marie Lemay, President and CEO
of the Royal Canadian Mint. “By remember-
ing those who undertook the long and risky
journey to escape slavery in the 19th century,
as well as their brave and tireless guides, we are
reminding ourselves that freedom is one of our
most enduring values.”
The reverse design of this 99.99% pure sil-
ver coin is an innovative tribute to those who
travelled the Underground Railroad. The men,
women and children following the Big Dipper
constellation to guide their way north to free-
dom, are illustrated along the coin’s edge to
create the sense of circular motion representing
their long, continuous journey. The obverse
features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, set against a
repeating maple leaf pattern.
“This coin is meant to honour and pay
homage to the ancestral slaves that escaped to
the North in search of freedom,” said artist
Kwame Delfish. “Many did not get to complete
the journey and faced the same (if not more)
hardships than what they left behind. The ones
that made it built their legacies and shaped the
mosaic that Canada is today. My hope is that
their strength and courage is illustrated on this
coin, and that I have sung their gospel.”
Limited to a mintage of 5,500, the 2022
$20 Fine Silver Coin Commemorating Black
History - The Underground Railroad retails for
$99.95. This new collectible may be ordered as
of today by contacting the Mint at 1-800-267-
1871 in Canada, 1-800-268-6468 in the U.S., or

In memory of
Harvey Stack
June 3, 1928–January 3, 2022
The collecting community mourns
the passing of a true pioneer. Harvey
Stack helped grow the rare coin
business founded by his father into
Stack’s Bowers Galleries, a global
numismatic powerhouse.
For decades, Stack was at the forefront of the collecting community.
Among the many highlights was his guidance in the development of
Josiah K. Lilly’s superb cabinet of gold coins, which was donated to
the Smithsonian in the 1960s. Stack remained involved with
Stack’s Bowers well into the 21st century, working most
recently with the Mark and Lottie Salton estate to bring
their outstanding collection to auction this year.

Stack gave back to the numismatic world,

serving as president of the Professional
Numismatists Guild. He was also a
longtime supporter of the American
Numismatic Association and tirelessly
advocated for initiatives that greatly
enhanced the coin collecting hobby.

NGC joins its friends, colleagues

and the entire numismatic
community in paying respects
to a man who left such a
meaningful legacy.
