AboutMyCoin1926-S Peace Dollar in G4
A 1926-S Peace dollar graded G4 is that coin in one particular state of preservation — the date and the mint mark are already fixed, and G4 is what a grader called the surface that survived. What that looks like on this coin is below. The nearest grade of this date this site does have a researched figure for is Very Good (VG-8), at $58 to $75, from sales and public data.
What G4 means
A 1926-S Peace dollar in Good (G-4) is worn evenly across its whole surface, and the design reads as an outline rather than a relief: the hair above Liberty’s eye and the high points of the rays of her crown are flat, the eagle’s shoulder and the feathers along the top of its folded wing show no detail at all, and LIBERTY across the crown, IN GOD WE TRVST and the date are still readable with the rim beginning to merge into the lettering.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade G-4. They are the same grade and the same 1926-S Peace dollar.
Where this grade sits
