"1936" Proof-Like Peace Silver Dollar High-Relief over-strike, MAXIMUM MINTAGE 100, LIMIT ONE PER PERSON/ACCOUNT

Cameo proof-like high-grade finish.

No Peace dollars were minted for circulation after 1935. In 1936 the US Mint began selling proof sets which included a cent, nickel, dime, quarter-dollar, and half-dollar. This “1936” proof-like fantasy Peace represents a “what if ?” scenario had the US Mint produced Peace Dollars for one more year and included them in the 1936 proof sets. These have a high relief obverse like the 1921 issue, and a true high relief reverse. No proof-like Peace Dollars were produced by the US Mint. One reason is that the sculpts had uneven fields and not a constant-radius dish like Morgan Dollars had. For example, the Peace Dollar obverse sculpt has a trough along the back of Liberty’s neck. That trough is a high point on the dies and would be polished off if the dies were lapped for a proof-like finish. For this fantasy issue the fields were modified to have a constant-radius basin, which allowed die polishing for a cameo proof-like appearance. Due to excessive forces required to over-strike existing low-relief coins and impart a high-relief proof-like finish, the dies quickly developed some “cartwheel” luster (also known as “mint bloom”). Regardless, all pieces have a “Cameo” proof-like appearance.
