    Your Pine Tree fake is one of the, if not the commonest Massachusetts silver counterfeits. Still it is a neat novelty item. A genuine in that condition would bring big bucks!

    For 1 dollar, I had to add it to my little collection of coin stuff!

    Good deal on the unmarked counterfeit for a $1.

    It does say "copy" on the edge.

    You can’t go wrong for $1. The sad thing is that from time to time I will see these offered at coin shows for a lot more.

    Yeah, like the $5 scratched off the 2X2 that I would have paid!

    the unique toning on the peace dollar is a typical PCI on 90% silver, and not extremely attractive to me

    The toning pattern on the Peace Dollar is not a positive. Poor eye-appeal in my opinion.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Ms. Peace appears to have come from a crime scene. Ugh

    That tarnish on the Peace is terribly unattractive.... IMO.... Though the detail beneath does look quite good.... Cheers, RickO

    I like the details on the peace $ as well.

    It is PCI toning. Very unusual color and I'll bet that toning will be desirable to some folks - enough to make the coin worth more money than one would think. I'll bet that obverse would grade a minimum of 64 at our host if submitted in the original holder it's in now. If the PCI label is gold, it is probably graded 65.
