Rank 1 is the lowest business-strike mintage in the series. Mintage is what the Mint produced, not what survives: the Pittman Act recoinage that created this series melted silver dollars in the hundreds of millions without recording dates, and later melts and hoards moved the numbers again.
Reading the figure
Among the 5 Denver issues in the series it is the 3rd smallest. Of the 11,267,700 struck across all mints in 1926, this issue accounts for 21%. San Francisco struck 3 times as many that year. The 1926 split ran San Francisco 6,980,000, Denver 2,348,700 and Philadelphia 1,939,000.

Scarcity tier
Semi-key
Assigned from reported mintage alone: under 750,000 is a key date, under 2,500,000 is a semi-key.
This is a reproducible label derived from the mintage column, not a market valuation and not a Coin Curator price opinion. The same thresholds apply to every series on this site. Several dates are far harder or far easier to obtain than their mintage implies; where that is true, it is stated above.

How to read these
- The median is the middle sale after removing outliers. The range is every sale kept, including the outliers, so you can see how wide the market actually is.
- Grade drives most of the difference. A band with three sales tells you far less than a band with thirty, and the count is shown so you can weigh it.
- Sales of coins in “Details”, “Genuine” or cleaned holders are excluded, as are proofs, replicas, lots, and mounted coins. Those sell at prices that would not describe the coin on this page.
- So is any sale priced below what this same date fetches in a lower grade, which is impossible for a real coin and is how a counterfeit in a convincing holder gives itself away.
- 1 further qualifying sale fell in a grade band with fewer than 3 sales, which is too few to report a median from, so it is not shown.

Weak strike is not wear. Peace dollars are notoriously softly struck, particularly the San Francisco issues of the 1920s. Read the full note on the series page.
What to check before buying
Nothing about this date calls for a check beyond the ones that apply to any certified coin.
And for any certified coin
Verify the certification number on the grading service’s own lookup rather than from a photograph of the label, match the listing images to the certification record including grade and any variety attribution, look for cleaning, compare the mintmark against published photographs of the genuine issue, and read the return policy before buying. The grading guide covers each of these in full.
