why is there an S before the $ on NGC peace dollars?

Im sure there is a simple answer, and I will feel stupid for asking. Im not talking about the S for mintmark

Thanks guys.

 

Thanks for asking. I was just wondering that about PCGS slabs and certain older label Morgans with S$1's. I assumed it was silver and didn't ask. Now I know for sure.

 

yeah, seems kind of silly, when they are all silver.

 

The Chinese fakes aren't and they manage to get into PCGS and NGC (like) slabs.

 

Ike Dollars come in both clad and silver. The older PCGS labels have the 'S$1' and the word 'Silver' on them and the clads dollars just have '$1' and the word 'Clad'.
It looks like in Jan 2006 with the generations PCGS 15 holder the 'S' for silver was dropped. As it looks like this was a double referance for silver.
