I wanted to share with the board my small collection that I just recently started. Prior to coming here August 5th of this year the only coins I collected are the new coins coming out of the mint. I have only been collection for about 5 years and I am a newbie here in the coin world. So with this year coming to an end I just wanted to thank everybody here on this board for sharing all your great thoughts and wonderful pictures of your collection. Most of what I bought came from fine people on this board. Mostly cause I wanted to trust the people here since there is so much counterfeit coins for sale. So with that here is my Peace Dollars collection, since joining this board. Thank you and may everybody here have a great New Years and a prosperous 2018 .

A fine start . . . . . .

Good stuff there!
I’m liking it. I’ve always thought Peace dollars were a great series to start with. They drew me back to collecting and I’ve been infatuated with them ever since.
Peace Dollars are beautiful. Looks like you've got a few nice looking ones!!!
Very nice collection.

Way to break out of moderns! Looks like a nice accumulation of Peace Dollars so far... are you going to expand to a true date-MM set in 2018? Best of luck in the new year.
I was not thinking about going that way but now why not? Thank you for planting the seed!
Be very careful! I started out with a bit of quasi-junk silver and ended up with a top 10 registry set.
Okay but sounds great top 10 nice.
Nice start Gluggo! Here is my starter and I definitely owe it to all members for my keener eyes.
34 & 35 are on their way. My plan for Valentine gift is a nice 28 MS64 perhaps?
I loved every minute of it, learned tons, made lots of friends, but it became a little too all-consuming and very expensive to take it any further. I sold the set and put the $$ toward something even better......... but I feel the beginnings of the second iteration of the set rumbling.
oh...and Dan's Broken Sword of course...
What is the MM set?
Very nice set and thanks for sharing. I'm working on a PD set but I find them difficult to grade at higher grades.
Date-MM set = date-mint-mark set
Basically a set of all date/mint-mark combinations. For Peace Dollars, that would include 24 coins:
1921
1922 1922-D 1922-S
1923 1923-D 1923-S
1924 1924-S
1925 1925-S
1926 1926-D 1926-S
1927 1927-D 1927-S
1928 1928-S
1934 1934-D 1934-S
1935 1935-S
Another type of collecting is a Date Set, which for Peace Dollars would be just 10 coins including one of each date, regardless of mint mark. This allows a collector to work around tough coins like 1928 or 1934-S by using 1928-S and 1934 or 1934-D for those dates.
I greatly appreciate your time & expertise. It is quite substantial to do the MM set. Mahalo again
The 24 coin set is a blast. Just drop the grades you’re looking a bit for the keys & semi-keys. There’s plenty of nice AU coins out there.
Great set of peace dollars, 64 and 65 grades are a challenge to work with.
A great start in a great hobby, congrats
