I love old holders and think they contain a significant part of numismatic history. I have been collecting various holders housing peace dollars. If you know of any please let me know. Here is what I have so far. Also if you know of any david hall peace dollar flips available let me know. Thanks in advance.

    You need at least one of the old ANACS photo certificates, and preferably one of the Washington, D.C. style and one or more of the Colorado Springs styles.

    That a nice collection you have there! I like it a lot. If I run across a strange holder with Peace dollar in it I'll for sure let ya know. Cool collection B)

    Go to the CRO website (Archive section). There is an image of a colonial in an ooooold, hand-made wooden holder, complete with typed label. It almost looks like an early prototype for a modern slab. I believe that a Forum member bought it.

    Oh man, there was a 26-s Redfield hoard dollar in an old Blanchard slab on the bay just a couple days ago. Did you see/buy it? Item 282405897060

  • Peace_dollar88Peace_dollar88 Posts: 1,221 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @ChrisH821 I thought about getting that one.... but I preferred to wait on an actual Paramount Redfield. If you have any other leads... please let me know. Thanks.

  • Wabbit2313Wabbit2313 Posts: 7,268 ✭✭✭✭✭

    There are many Peace dollar Redfields on eBay all the time.

    Mehl died in 1957. The name of his firm survived for some years, however. The company name (and perhaps remaining stock?) was purchased from his heirs, and the company was relocated from Texas to California. It continued to function until the mid-1960's. Based on the dates shown in the ledger page (previous post by Ikeigwin), Mehl was already dead.

    Here's an old OLD holder.

    When it came in the shop, it was full of 5 Libs and 2.5 Indians.

    I filled it with sovereigns so I could sell the coins.

    Were any of them toned? Some people think that's how some of the golds would get toning.

    I have an MCCS slab but no image. Here is an image from the Bay of E

    @drunner it's was truly a pleasure this last weekend. I have learned so much from you. Also, the two peace dollars I got from you are out of this world! Please be on the lookout for me!

    Bummer! I did not get the notification from the comment you left on my Registry Set! Either comments are not sent from there, or it went to my junk mail. Oh well, keep me in mind if you do part with it, you got a pretty good deal on it btw!

    I like the unusual shape of the mccs slab. This one seems odd though, it just has the year. No description or grade, was this normal? Maybe similar to the bulk graded coins that just say brilliant uncirculated?


  • Peace_dollar88Peace_dollar88 Posts: 1,221 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I assume the mccs holders are the ones known as the "toilet seat"

  • johnny9434johnny9434 Posts: 28,267 ✭✭✭✭✭

    nice different holder here, i like :)

  • DRUNNERDRUNNER Posts: 3,843 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I will be on the lookout . . . . . seriously. I'll reconfigure my will . . .and put you as beneficiary of my NGC Black Peace . . . . .

    I won't be parting with it until then, unless I figure a way to "take it with me" . .so it might have to go to you . . .

    I have a similar one. Picked it up because it was accurately graded and cheap for the coin that's in it.
