Peace dollars are very difficult in Poor, since the grade tends to disappear.
To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever documented the edge collar reed counts on all of the Peace Dollar issues to determine how many different edge collars may have been put into use between 1921 and 1935.

Nice!

Dennis, I think you meant to state "since the mintmark tends to disappear" which is far more critical for 1928 or 1934 dated coins than any others in the series.

Is it really worth having a Peace or Morgan slabbed, that would actually grade PO01?
Yes!
Here's a 1923 Peace dollar (common date) that sold for over $500.

I need to dig out the 1883 P Morgan also. The 1883 P Morgan already looks to be PO01 or close to it.
Looks like I need to dig out that 1922 D Peace Dollar out of the scrap silver pile and carry it in my pocket for awhile. Looks like it would grade FR02 right now.

...and therein lies the problem IMHO...anyone can lower a coins grade with time on their side. But not just anyone can make it a better grade...only coin doctors sometimes can and do...but anyone can patiently keep a coin in their pocket till it's time to send her in for grading...or re-grading till she hits P01.
small rant over. I still think it's a cool coin that you have! Congrats and nice TrueView

With the Poorman's Registry yes it is.
It becomes a condition rarity.
but then, I never understood collecting beanie babies or belly button lint....
Humans are collectors, and if something exists, someone, somewhere, collects it.
To each his own....(hey, I also collect old decks of playing cards... weird huh?)

Most of these, are mostly likely "pocket pieces" anyway and not from use. It was common, back in the 1940's up to the early 1960's, to go to a bank and get a uncirculated, or close to it, Peace or Morgan and carry it as a good luck piece and always carry the piece and you will never be broke. Price of silver tend to retired most of these. I have seen one that was so worn you could not tell what it was if you didn't know what a Peace or Morgans looked like. It was common for soldiers to carry a silver dollar with them during WWII and then carry it for many years after the war.
These were pocket pieces and carried during the war by relatives of that time period.
