The 1934-S Peace Dollar graded NGC holds value for collectors, but the specific value depends on the exact NGC grade. Here's a breakdown:

Mintage and Significance:

• The 1934-S Peace Dollar was minted at the San Francisco mint (indicated by the "S" mintmark). This mint produced fewer 1934-S Peace Dollars compared to the Philadelphia mint (no mintmark). While not extremely rare, the "S" mintmark adds a slight premium to the value.
• 1934 marked the resumption of Peace Dollar production after a hiatus from 1928 to 1933. This makes the 1934 issue somewhat collectible.

Grading and Value:

The NGC grade assigned to your 1934-S Peace Dollar significantly impacts its value. Here's a general idea:

• Circulated Condition: A well-worn 1934-S Peace Dollar graded NGC MS60 (lowest uncirculated grade) can range from $40 to $90.
• Uncirculated Condition: NGC grades uncirculated coins from MS60 (Mint State) to MS70 (Perfect Mint State). The higher the grade, the better the preservation and the higher the value:
  • MS63 (moderately circulated): $225+ (based on eBay listings)
  • MS64: $400+
  • Higher grades (MS65, MS66) can reach $1,000 or more.

Recommendation:

• If you're unsure about the exact grade of your 1934-S Peace Dollar, getting it graded by NGC is recommended. This will not only determine the value but also authenticate the coin.
• Consider the coin's overall eye appeal. Some collectors might pay a premium for a coin with attractive toning (natural colorization) or a strong strike (sharpness of design elements).
