With Apologies to RYK, GKellog, GBully, et al. - this is the only gold I own! (plus one)

Catbert

And I love it. We krill feed on zooplankton while watching the whales do their thing.

Edit: now more gold! (new piece courtesy of coinlieutenant)

crypto79

Pretty coin, rare that nice and undipped. Needs better plastic but that's an opinion

RYK

Apology accepted!

mkman123

What a beauty and I'm a fan of that plastic haha

DIMEMAN

I agree with the better plastic needed.

secondrepublic

awesome coin. proof that big, brilliant, drool-worthy coins don't need to cost an absolute fortune.

BryceM

Gorgeous 25, irrespective of its wrapper. This is what 80 year-old peace dollars are supposed to look like.

<< <i>Apology accepted! >>



I second that!

Catbert, nice 'gold' Peace Dollar

<< <i>Yah love the coin, but better plastic is needed........wow
what direction has the hobby gone to? >>



. Superb gem peace dollars outside of pcgs plastic is one of the weaker markets with the biggest spread in prices currently and for some time. Being a common date it isn't a killer but let it be a 27s or even a MS67 common date, It's a very very tough area of the market. Unlike UNC classic that are still UNC classics dispite the plastic and the only matter of conversation is a point or two, with ultra moderns the difference is normal widget vs special gem and buyers tend not to pay full to take a chance.

Hmmmm... Sounds like there could be some opportunities there.....

Stunning Peace dollar by the way!!!! Naked would be gorgeous too (no plastic)

GeorgeKellogg

I like the golden toning!

illini420

Nice one, had me fooled... I was expected to see a nice golden colored "red" S-mint Indian Cent

Awesome looking Peace Dollar

mkman123

catbert I call first dibs and this post proves it j/k

Does this golden toning progress later on such as deepens or just stays this way?

DorkGirl

Very nice!

CoinZip

B E A utiful.......with or without plastic.

This gold has creamy centers!

ricko

Great coin, and the plastic does not matter.....however, you should get some 'real' gold.....much more satisfying... Cheers, RickO

Zoins

Wow, beautiful coin. Congrats! Definitely a stand out Peace dollar!

Dimeman, do you collect coins or do you collect plastic? Even if you are right (which I would disagree with) that every single NGC coin in the universe would grade at least one point lower at PCGS, as long as you get it at a fair price, who cares what the plastic says? It is the COIN that matters.

With this said, lovely original Peace Dollar. It is a great pick up.

Should have been a big smile!!! Wanted to leave something for the imagination there though....
Might help in the upgrades for some of my Peace set.....
Very astute observation!!!

johnny9434

thats a real beauty ( bummer about the plastic thou, oh well, move on ). nice pick up

MidLifeCrisis

That's a pretty gold coin!

Rollfinder78

wow very nice

Catbert

A new Gold Buff added!

MilesWaits

Let me summarize:

I really hate NGC.

I really love PCGS.

I really hate that YOU rather than ME, owns that coin!

Re Cap:

DAMN you!

crypto79

38d buffs often come nice and that one is no exception. Way too common of a date as it was saved in ridiculas roll quantities so if one has to pick this date as type I would susgest combining layers of interest like one of the over mint marks for the date &(!) and an OGH with special toning for not much extra money. JMHO

Crypto79, does the "H" in your JMHO stand for "hateful"?

Catbert, lovely Buffalo nickel (and Peace Dollar)! Carry on...

Humble, but typically people post to get feedback from people with different perspectives. My advice granted is on how to enjoy coins on the buy and sell side which is part if a complete picture and admittedly not nessacary for just pure old fashioned enjoyment. Not very enjoyable at sale time but that isn't everybody's motive, that said I am sure the OP enjoys the occasional old holder or mint mark variety.

I'm buried in this coin, but it really doesn't matter - especially at this price point. I bought it for type and will enjoy it as such accordingly. The doubled/tripled/duplicate mint mark version, while interesting in a miniscule way, is not necessary for my complete enjoyment of the artistry of the Buffalo nickel design. Throw in the pretty toning and it's a winner in MY book.

ricko

That is radical tarnish on the Buff.... first I have seen like that.... hmmmmm, must do some experimentation... Cheers, RickO
