Got a few nice raw ones in for grading but no photos until trueviews are available. Not quite at the level of these already posted but pleasing just the same. The 23 will get trueviews next month and is the newest graded peace addition.

What is the simpleton chemistry explanation of why Peace Dollars get solid toning far less often than Morgans?
The Peace Dollar series was stored in canvas bags and initially rinsed using the same mechanism; however, preparation and storage were different in three critical ways:
1) Silver dollar planchets were annealed using charcoal and coal heating sources prior to 1901, whereas natural gas was used after 1901.
2) Moisture was a problem and water damage was common prior to 1900 with many original bags rotting. New vaults and better technology lead to drier vaults in subsequent years.
3) Annealed planchets were dipped in weak nitric acid to remove copper oxide prior to coining.

Very nice ones. I can't compete with those.
It has been at least a week since I've posted this.
Gold!

Oh yeah..some absolutely beautiful and stunning peace dollars.
Congratulations! That is one I had in my toned Peace dollar grouping I sold at Great Collections.
Good to see it is in good hands.
Accidental double post
Nothing too special, but it is a better date that I usually see dipped out, and it does have more color than the photo picked up:
Haven't posted this one for awhile....

Been thinking of throwing this one up on the BST. How often do you see an AU peace with color?..
Very nice coins all.
Hoard the keys.

I'm always amazed by beautifully toned Peace dollars. Great examples, guys.

Some real beauties shown here.
This isn't as dramatic but it's my only Peace with any color whatsoever.
