"1933-S" Peace Silver High-Relief over-strike, bulk-handled

Bulk-handled finish.

No US silver dollars were minted from 1929 to 1933. This “1933-S” fantasy date over-strike has a high relief obverse like the 1921 Peace issue, and a high relief reverse based on the original “Broken Sword” model. The original design for the Peace Dollar had the Eagle clutching a broken sword on the reverse. Just before the original 1921 Peace Dollars were minted, the sword was removed from the tooling by modifying the sculpt and the engraving. In a similar process, the reverse of this “1933-S” over-strike is based on the original Broken Sword model, but the sword has been removed via sculpting and engraving.

By purchasing one or more of these, the buyer agrees to provide full disclosure of their origin when reselling them. Failure to provide potential buyers with complete and accurate information when offering these could result in criminal and/or civil fraud charges. In other words, don't try to sell to unaware buyers as original coins of this date.

Since these are over-struck on existing coins, there may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the over-strike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike.
