I LOVE old coins.
how do you get it bigger like that?
I LOVE old coins.
Easy to find, but hard to find nice.
Does anyone else find the mint-mark troubling?
Not a coin. But what the heck, it says "1917". And I like it a lot.
Dan Carr 100th anniversary 2oz silver 50mm Hard Times Token.
I especially like the use of the "Broken Sword" Peace Dollar original design.

1917-D TYI 25C Uncentered Broadstrike Mint Error ANACS MS60 Details Scratched Full Head.
I own a few mint errors in details holders that are unique and not available otherwise. This poor SLQ was caught in a coin counter and has a few scratches on the obverse. Still the rarest SLQ error as the only other Type 1 out there that has been in every major error type collection resides in a ANACS G4 holder.
Some really nice coins here... I cannot find a 1917 coin right now... I am sure I have some....got to get back to wrapping presents...

Nice '17 doubled die.
That's a great-looking coin.
Gorgeous 1917 Lincoln! Oh my......
1917 Costa Rica 50 Centavos. 9400 pieces struck. None placed in circulation. 9390 countermarked and revalued at 1 Colon in 1923. 10 pieces saved for posterity and presented to VIPs, including some collectors. I've never seen one come up for auction, but this piece - which I do not own - found its way to NGC and now resides in a worthy collection.

What are you implying, the mythical 1917 MPL?
https://pcgs.com/setregistry/showcase/2819
Did the Mint/Government actually consider striking a Peace dollar in 1917?
But only one circulated example Lance
No. The idea didn't come up until late 1920. See Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1921 for details.
What would be the reason then for striking a fantasy 1917 piece instead of say 1918? Or would it be better to ask Mr. Carr?
Best to go to the source. The US entered the war in 1917. Commemorations occur after an event, not before, so a coin,token or fake commemorating "peace" would seem very odd.
The US entering into ww1
I posted my favorite 1917 coin.
To a certain degree, yes... I am implying that.
I fully realize it falls short of "certain" accepted MPL diagnostics.
But it also has many curious / unknown attributes.
V.D.B. vestiges on shoulder...before 1918 ?
V.D.B. / Brenner vestiges in front of coat.
1909 over - date... oddly done to me, and larger 0 ?
I'm looking for knowledge and answers.
