The answer

Worth about $50⁠–⁠$60 circulated and $1,250⁠–⁠$1,750 in MS-65.

The 1923-D Peace Dollar is a common date from the Denver Mint, with 6,811,000 pieces struck. In circulated grades (G-4 to EF-40) our estimate is $50⁠–⁠$60, and a well-preserved MS-65 example is estimated at $1,250⁠–⁠$1,750. Circulated coins of this date trade at or just above the value of their metal, so the live melt value on this page is the best guide to a worn coin.

Varieties to look for

Mint mark position

D and S sit on the reverse near the lower left, below the word ONE.

Strike quality

Weak strikes on the center of Liberty's hair and the eagle's breast are common. Sharp strikes bring premiums in Mint State.

Cleaning and cabinet friction

The fields are prone to bag marks and the high points to rub. Look for original luster.
