Thought this was cool

Haven't been buying a lot lately but still like to participate in the hobby, so I purchased this Peace dollar from the Binion hoard complete with NGC pedigree. It is soft graded (no numerical grade) but it looks like a 63 to me. Inexpensive fun.
Check it out!

Nice Peace, neat slab!

Odd that it is in an NGC slab but not graded.

Anyone know what the "UNCIRCULATED TYPE SET" refers to?

I think the hoard was all dollars. Maybe they did a type set of dollars - Pre 21 - 21 Morgan - Peace. Were there any 1921 Peace dollars in it or maybe 1878 reverse used as a type also? Don't recall that kind of holder before or just didn't notice it.

There are 4 coin sets with a Silver Roosevelt Dime, Silver Washington Quarter, Silver Kennedy, and Silver Peace Dollar.

Many times bulk orders can specify to put anything lower than an MS 63 (or MS 64) into a holder that just says Uncirculated (and the grading fees can be somewhat lower).

That is different... Thanks for the explanation. Cheers, RickO

This is cool, new goal, why not build the type set?

While the binionsilverhoard.com site listed on the NGC holder is gone, some interesting parts of it remain available through the Internet Archive Wayback Machine at web.archive.org.

I had forgotten or didn't know some of this such as:
