They mean that this 1925-S Peace Silver Dollar is a real prize, especially in Extremely Fine (XF) condition! America’s last dollar minted for circulation in 90% silver, the Peace Dollar has often been overlooked by collectors obsessed with amassing Morgan Silver Dollars. 1925 marked the third year in the Standing Liberty Quarter series that only the Philadelphia mint struck quarters. However, unlike 1916 and 1921, during which small mintages provided a tiny batch of coins that modern coin collectors will clamor to get their hands on, the 1925 Standing Liberty quarter is far more common, with a mintage of 12,280,000 pieces. USA Coin Book Estimated Value of 1925 Peace Silver Dollar is Worth $31 in Average Condition and can be Worth $51 to $170 or more in Uncirculated (MS+) Mint Condition.

Production of silver dollar coins had stopped in 1904, however, so no Morgan dollars were struck at Denver until the Morgan series resumed briefly for 1921. The Denver mint began producing the Peace silver dollar coin in 1922 and did so sporadically until 1935. The silver melt value for this coin is $20.80 as of February 06, 2021. This melt value is calculated from the current silver spot price of $26.89 per ounce. The 1923 silver dollar with no mint mark is worth around $25 in very fine condition.

1925
1925 marked the third year in the Standing Liberty Quarter series that only the Philadelphia mint struck quarters. However, unlike 1916 and 1921, during which small mintages provided a tiny batch of coins that modern coin collectors will clamor to get their hands on, the 1925 Standing Liberty quarter is far more common, with a mintage of 12,280,000 pieces.
This common date is an affordable acquisition for nearly any coin collector, at around $9 to buy an example of that date in a grade of Good-4. However, something far more significant than a high mintage figure marks the 1925 Standing Liberty quarter, and that is the design’s recessed date.
Standing Liberty quarters minted from 1916 through 1924 all had one thing in common: the date on the pedestal upon which Miss Liberty stands tended to wear off very quickly, due to its raised position on the coin. The recessed date proved to be a very good move for the United States Mint, as Standing Liberty quarters minted from 1925 on through the end of the series in 1930 had few issues concerning the date wearing away from the coins, even after many years of heavy circulation.
Those familiar with other areas of United States coin collecting may recognize a similar problem with Buffalo nickels, which also have a raised date. Thus, millions of “dateless” Buffalo nickels exist to this day.
