What is the value of a "Better Date" 1934 D Peace silver dollar, and what does "better Date" mean? Thanks,
Donn

Welcome.
It sounds like you are trying to figure out a sellers description. A better date coin would usually mean a lower mintage and presumably, more valuable. But... "Better date" can be used just to hype a coin without any basis in reality.
And the value of any coin would be based on a few factors such as the grade, whether it has been cleaned (not good!), if it has signs of damage, etc.

Yes, I agree, a better date describes a date with a little lower than average mintage for the series. However, this doesn't mean the coin is worth more, as pointed out, the condition and grade determines the value as well.

Good question BTW.
