On May 15, 1923, the government started assigning different frequencies to different stations, at 10 kHz intervals. Initially, these went only from 550 to 1360 khz. The frequencies from 550 to 1040 kHz were set aside for Class B stations, while the remaining frequencies were designated for Class A. (Note that this is slightly, but not greatly, different from the recommendations in the report.) Not all stations left the 833 kHz frequency at this time... and these stations were designated as Class C. These gradually cut over to frequencies in the 10 kHz-interval setup over the next few years. The most important stations, however, changed frequencies at this time.

The 1923-D and 1923-S Peace silver dollars are surprisingly scarce in mint-state quality. An encylopedia of U.S. silver dollars estimates that as few as 34,000 of each may survive today in Brilliant Uncirculated grades, far less than 1% of original mintages.
