Question
I have a 1924 peace silver dollar that is missing the E in liberty.  Any idea on the value?

Answer
[I apologize if I've already answered this before, but the site is showing that I need to still answer this.]

The anomaly you're mentioning is pretty common and usually can be attributed to a weak strike or filled dies (the metal pieces that are used to strike the coin).  It's value is likely to be around silver bullion unless it is in a very high state of preservation with few distracting marks and no signs of wear; probably around $18 or so depending on the current silver market.

Expertise

I specialize in U.S. three-cent nickels, but also close behind them are U.S. two-cent pieces, three-cent silver, and twenty cent pieces. Also, I have a bit of experience in the area of U.S. Early Proofs (19th century). However, I can possibly assist in most questions regarding U.S. Type coins.

Experience

I have read virtually everything I can find in print on the areas of U.S. 2-3-20 cent pieces. I have written articles on three-cent coins and Early Proofs published (or will be published) in Coin World.
