I was browsing through some old pictures on my laptop yesterday. Trying to get things more organized so I find things more easily. I found many pictures of my son and trips and many trips all over southern California among other places, lots of great memories! I came across a few older photos I had taken of some of my collection for insurance reasons. This beauty was among them.
The Peace dollar was a replacement for the older Morgan design. It was designed by an Italian immigrant by the name of Anthony de Francisci. There was a rush at the mint to receive new design applications, Fracisci didn't have time to hire a model so he used his wife Teresa de Francisci for the design and added some features from the Statue of Liberty. The result was a beautiful work of art in the Peace dollar. It was produced from 1921 until 1935, and again starting in 2021 but with 0.999 silver.
