What is the value of a 1924 Peace dollar with In God We Trvst printed on the back?

Answer

Been a while since I've seen this question, but it seems to be a very common "find." The reason it is so commonly found is because EVERY PEACE DOLLAR EVER MADE HAS THIS SAME ERROR. Don't believe me? Go to any coin shop and check. The designer used the old Latin alphabet (just the alphabet, not the words or language) which doesn't have a U because he thought it gave the coin a "classical" look.

Answer

The TRVST spelling of the word trust is normal for coins of that time period. That's just the way they did it back then -- using the Roman alphabet.

It's that way on all Peace Dollars, as well as some other U.S. coins. If you look at the front of a quarter from the 1920's you will see the same TRVST spelling.

To give you a value on your specific coin, I will need more information about what you have -- i.e. denomination, date, any mintmark, and condition of wear.

Answer

That is the national slogan Its on all our money

Answer

The printing is correct. At the time, a stylized "u" looked like a "v". Read a photocopy of the Constitution and you'll also see "S" is printed as "F". It isn't of any special value, other than as any other 1923 Silver Dollar.

Answer

All Peace dollars have this same TRVST spelling. You can also find this same spelling on Standing liberty Quarters (1916-1930).

1923 is a common date -- worth about $6 in circulated grades.

Answer

TRVST is the normal spelling for all Peace Dollars (1921-1935). It was done this way in tradition with the way things were done in this time period.

So it's not an error -- just a normal coin from that time.

I would need to know the date and condition of the coin to be more specific as to value.

Answer

It's not misspelled. That was the stylized "u" and was commonly used on just about everything that involved the government. While it's worth more than a dollar, it all depends on the condition. You would need to take it to a coin collector to have it appraised. If it's worn and well used, it's probably not worth much.

Answer

All Peace Dollars use the TRVST spelling -- you'll also find the same spelling on Standing Liberty quarters (1916-1930). 1923 is one of the most common dates for Peace dollars -- in circulated condition its value is about $7.00

Answer

To clear this up once and for all, the use of V is neither an error nor a "stylized" version of the the letter U. The original Roman alphabet did not have the letter U, or the letter J for that matter. The letters V and I served as consonants, vowels, AND numerals(!) Readers had to determine what the use was based on context, the same way we use C to represent both a K and S sound. It wasn't until the Middle Ages that separate letters were added to the alphabet to distinguish between the consonant and vowel sounds.

As other answers indicated, there was a lot of interest in Roman culture during the 1920s so many inscriptions were done in that style in an attempt to give them a "classical" look. As an example, I once saw a Roman-styled building in Philadelphia with "AQVARIVM" carved into the lintel over its entrance. I guess they once displayed tvna. gvppies and halibvt...
