New Purchase for my 20th Century Type Set

Here is the latest addition to my 20th Century Type Set. 1921 Peace Dollar High Relief PCGS MS66. Waiting for PCGS to UPDATE my set with the new additions. I don't think I will be able to complete my set by the June deadline. Some of these coins are just to hard to find.

    Another very nice piece for the set. Looks like you are going to be #1 when you get complete unless a mystery set comes out of the woodwords.

  • Keith,
    #1 in the Registry is just that, #1 in the Registry ONLY. By no means will I ever come close to having the top set. My #1 Ike set is not even close to the true #1 or #2 set out there. Someone out there owns a MS67 1921 Peace Dollar and MS68 Buffalo Nickel etc.... and they have chosen not to register their set. The competetion is fun but we are just competing with ourselves, not the big dogs.

    True, but what are the chances that they have the highest grade piece of each Type? In a lot of cases, those finest known are tied up in Series sets, making it difficult for us Type collectors to find the nicer pieces.

    Very nice Peace Dollar, Dennis! I'd like to find one with high relief like yours for the Peace Dollar collection.

  • Nice luster! I guess Dennis will give Wm Walser and High Desert a challange. I won't compete with a MS 66 High Relief Peace dollar!
  • Dennis--

    That is the nicest 1921 have seen. I was excited to fine a 1925 in MS67 last year. It was the first Peace dollar I had found with real mint luster. Great find.

    Very nice coin. At last a Peace dollar that looks like a MS Peace dollar should. Congrats Dennis. Mark

    Dennis:

    Don't see why you can't complete. Though you don't show your set, you have the Barbers and Peace which are the tough ones. Don't know if you have the SLQs, but they aren't hard to find in 66FH, and you can probably find a type 1 and type 3 in 67FH if you really want that grade. The rest are pretty easy at reasonable grades. Merc in 67FB, Franklin in 66FBL, Walker in MS67, 38D Buffalo in MS67, Type 1 Buffalo in 66, Washington in 67, Jeffs in 66FB, Lib 5c in 65 (or do you have a 66), anything after 64 is pretty easy and assume you have those. Higher grades than listed will be more difficult to find, but you can always upgrade later. Nothing on the above list will cost more than a couple of hundred dollars.

  • Greg,
    Still looking for a nice Liberty Nickel for the set. I purchased a MS68FB Mercury Dime recently. I do not have the SLQs yet or the Type I Buffalo but I have a lead on a MS67 at auction that I will try to get. Anonther one I need is a 67FS Jefferson. I am working on it slowly, buying the coin, not the plastic. I should jump from 60% to 71% complete when the new upgrades are posted.

    Regards, Dennis
  • I just received the Heritage catalogue. I am happy to have it. I like paper, books, printed things, coins, pictures of coins, sigh...

    Anyway they have a MS 67 from the David Hall collection at auction!!! I can't say but it looks to me like yours compares favorably...
  • Carl,
    I would say mine appears to compare very favorably but then again, my name is not David Hall and I don't own a stake in PCGS. Comparing pictures alone, I would rather have mine What is your opinion?
  • keithdagenkeithdagen Posts: 2,025
    Dennis,

    That 67 is great, until you factor in the carbon spot on the eye. That alone drops it into 66 league, and yours is one of the nicest 66's I have seen.

  • I can't bring up the image of the MS 66 today, but if my memory serves I'd rather have that than the David Hall 67...
  • Funny how the images were working until I put both coins up for comparison and now Collectors Universe won't work.

    Dangit- the images sure don't work here. image

    CU-hosted pics are notoriously squirrely. In and out.

  • I reattached the pictures and they are working
  • DH's piece, aside from the blackeye, is a little better struck. Dh's coin is probably the best 1921 strike that I have seen in 20+ years.

    I have never seen a Peace Dollar that I did not like!!
  • Now that I see the scans side by side I was going to say the 67 was better struck, but robbnsc beat me to it! Still the 66 is easier to look at image Personally I will be looking to upgrade to a 65 with as good a strike as I can find. But I won't upgrade until my proof set is finished, and that will take a long, long time...
  • Nice Peace Dollar!

    The reverse strike is nice and strong too!

    Someday I'll own one too.
