AboutMyCoin1926-S Peace Dollar in VF25
A 1926-S Peace dollar graded VF25 is that coin in one particular state of preservation — the date and the mint mark are already fixed, and VF25 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 Fine (VF-20), at $63 to $86, from sales and public data.
What VF25 means
A 1926-S Peace dollar in Very Fine (VF-25) sits between the two ends of Very Fine: the hair above Liberty’s eye and the high points of the rays of her crown are flattened across more of their area than at thirty and less than at twenty, the eagle’s shoulder and the feathers along the top of its folded wing keep their major detail, and LIBERTY across the crown, IN GOD WE TRVST and the date are sharp. The three Very Fine rungs are one coin at three degrees of the same wear, which is why a grader can move a coin between them and a buyer can rarely see it.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade VF-25. They are the same grade and the same 1926-S Peace dollar.
