The 1923 Peace Dollar MS-63 CACG (VAM-1D Whisker Cheek) is a desirable variety from the United States Mint’s iconic Peace Dollar series, introduced to commemorate peace following World War I. Minted in 1923, this coin is struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, containing approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, combining intrinsic value with numismatic interest.
This coin is attributed as VAM-1D, known as the “Whisker Cheek” variety, which features fine die lines or raised marks on Lady Liberty’s cheek, giving the appearance of whiskers. This distinctive feature makes it especially appealing to collectors of Peace Dollar varieties.
Graded MS-63 (Mint State 63) by CAC Grading (CACG), the coin is in uncirculated condition, showing strong mint luster with moderate contact marks typical for the grade, while maintaining overall attractive eye appeal. CACG certification also emphasizes strict grading standards and quality assurance.
The obverse features the elegant Lady Liberty portrait designed by Anthony de Francisci, symbolizing freedom and optimism. The reverse displays a bald eagle perched on a rock with the word “PEACE”, representing stability and hope in the post–World War I era.
With its VAM-1D Whisker Cheek variety, CACG certification, and solid MS-63 grade, the 1923 Peace Dollar is an excellent addition for variety collectors and numismatists seeking unique and historically significant silver coins.
