Peace Dollar With Rainbow Iridescent Toning

DrewU

I've been a lurker on the boards for a long time, but I've enjoyed the recent threads with board members sharing photos of cool coins so much that I can no longer resist the temptation to join in. This is a cool endroll piece, and the reverse of the coin is blast white, very gemmy, and very boring when compared to the obverse.

Welcome

i can't wait to get photo-able, in the meantime i just have to enjoy the coins of those who are.

Frattlaw will probably want that.

I actually found the coin at a local show as part of a partial roll of Unc. Peace dollars. I had to purchase all of the coins to get this one, but surprisingly the dealer was not asking for any premium relating to the toning. I guess it just goes to show that there are still some pretty fantastic original coins just waiting to be "discovered" by collectors and aficionados of toned material.

The best bargain in numismatics right now is a blast white peace dollar in true ms66. Those are true beauties. Thats what I would be looking for if I wanted a bang for my buck. I dont like the one shown.

Welcome Drew - gorgeous Peace dollar you have there! Don't mind Twowood - if you keep your hands and feet away from his mouth you'll be just fine!

Absolutely stunning coin and very nice job of finding it. I always have my eyes open for Peace dollars with beautiful toning. They seem to be few and far between.

Thanks for sharing.

WOW! Beautiful coin, the JFK you also posted a pic of was a stunner as well.

Oh, yeah, welcome to the Boards, looks like you off to a nice start. You're pretty good with a camera as well!

I have a 23-D much like that one, just not quite as nice. When you look @ the coin straight on it appears just to be russet toning, as soon as you tilt it, out pops the same colors as your 23. Just amazing color for a Peace $. Get that one slabbed.

And as Zenny has nicely pointed out, if you want to sell it I'd be more then willing discuss a price. Just PM me. I'm putting together a registry set of toned Peace $ and are always looking to add to my toned Peace $ collection.

Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to the Forum, DrewU. I look forward to your continued participation. You certainly made a big splash with that awesome coin. Excellent piece and a great find. Always nice to hear of great finds, of raw coins, at shows. Share more with us.
