<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2708006, member: 1892&quot;]No possible way. There were no Peace Dollars struck between 1929-1933 inclusive.</p><p><br /></p><p>They were initially designed and struck as a fulfillment of the Pittman Act, which required the melting of a certain number (270 million when it was all said and done, 47% of the total production) of Morgan Dollars for sale as raw silver to Great Britain during WWI, with the caveat that at a later date they must all be replaced by striking new coins in American-produced silver. This legal requirement was completed as of the 1928 production, so the mintage was ceased.</p><p><br /></p><p>New legal maneuverings - oddly enough, begun by an amendment to the Agricultural Relief Act of 1933 and resulting in the Silver Purchase Act of 1934 -&nbsp; created a mandate that the Mint produce silver coinage as a way of backing fiat currency and forcing the US back into a gold/silver standard. This is what caused production of the Peace Dollar to resume in 1934 and 1935.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
