Have you ever assembled or seen a complete set of counter stamped Peace Dollars?

I have not but, I think it would be a very unique collection. Every coin with a different counter stamp, more than likely they would all be low grade coins but grade doesn't matter.
Whether you think you can or, think you can't, you're right.

I like counterstamps and would love to see such a set, but if you stuck to "legitimate" (vintage issues with maybe a couple Mel Wacks issues thrown in) it would be very difficult to assemble such a set as Peace Dollars missed the hidden age of counterstamps by many decades.
Here is one to start the collection:
Wow, I think that would be the crown jewel of the set. That's a Walther Firearms counter stamp - Nice

I recognized that counterstamp immediately....
Now there is a project... I can look for counterstamps from firearms manufacturers.... Got to be few and far between... I need a Colt, Springfield, Smith and Wesson, Marlin and Ruger to start....

I don't think such a contemporary set is likely to exist for the reason cited above. Maybe with labels, but even those tended to be affixed decades after the actual release.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Yea, I cant imagine a whole lot of Peace Dollars were counterstamped. Let alone a whole date/mm set.
Nice Walther @JBK

Do you need a 1921?

For perspective: That's a 16 oz Silver Eagle.

@EXOJUNKIE .... Sure wish I could track that one down......Cheers, RickO
I am confident that a counterstamped date & mm set of Peace dollars is possible consisting of logotype (not individual letter) c/s of the pre-WWII period. The c/s may not be especially meaningful (as those above) but there was still quite a bit of whacking going on during the '20s and '30s both as die trials and just messing around in the machine shop.
Now how did you let that go, @EXOJUNKIE ? Great counterstamp!

Isn't this an XF 45 coin somewhat 'post mint damaged'?

I traded it for something I wanted more, so it was a win-win, although I do miss it.

Interesting stuff here
I think I've seen that Colt Morgan on Ebay...
The 1921 Colt and 1922 Walther counter marks would be an incredible start to the set.
