I bought this common date Peace Dollar for about $100 at auction. It's one of the few Peace Dollars I've actually seen with blue toning.

    @Che_Grapes Wow, that's a gorgeous Kennedy. You can really see the luster pop on the first pic.

    Here's a 21 with a little blue.

    What grade? I love 21 peace dollars - if mine will ever get out of being graded I’ll post it here! I’m hoping it’s a MS65 - fingers crossed!!

    Lowest priced Early US dollar I have gotten, but still super rare. Someone put a hole in it probably a couple centuries ago, but it is still a BB-91/B-32. Presents well to me.

    That looks like a bullet hole to me!! Either way you win!

    Purchased for $1 along with around 300 of his kin at the bank maybe 8 years ago. Included it on a modern value submission as an after thought just so I could get the minty green box.

    I picked up a 1964 set of coins, in Mint envelope, cello intact, with a AH Kennedy, at a gun show, for $20. :) Cheers, RickO

    This is one of my favorites for under $100.

    That is a really nice Peace dollar for under $100 and great toning too!

    Slabbed Mod Commem $ and ASE say MS69-70 can get for $15-$25 over melt or less. Super deal vs US generic $ which seem to have been promoted into stratosphere.

    Less than $100, less than $10, less than $1. Shoot, they were free - an unexpected "bonus gift" from an eBay seller. The ACG troubles were before my time, but I've always liked these holders. And free is good ...

    That's great for being a free gift!

    I have a handful of TPG-slabbed US coins worth around $100-125 retail, but only have sellers' pictures for a couple of them. I have another coin being graded now at that approximate value, a 1874-S WB-3 (R3) half dollar in VG sent in to provide a coin for comparison for properly attributing a WB-4, the principal coin in the submission. Anyway, this is an 1855-O that I couldn't resist even though it was 30% over retail price guide values and the obverse wasn't in focus.

    My "cheapest" slabbed coins are Canadian and Newfoundland coins purchased for $30-50. Here's an example.

    I bought these years ago for 5 bucks each. I was, and still am, bowled over by the beautiful toning.
    By the way, Great thread👍




    Awesome Jefferson's, Joe!
    Now, why does that particular one look so familiar? :D
    Thanks Joe ;)

    PCGS graded Mexico 1898 Peso restrike:

    Mexico 1898 Peso (1949 restrike) PCGS MS-62

    In 1949 the San Francisco Mint struck 2,000,000 and the Mexico City Mint struck 8,000,000 copies of the 1898 Mexico Peso for use in paying soldiers of Nationalist China who were fighting the Communists.

    The San Francisco Mint coins were kept in a bank vault and then returned to the mint for recycling. The Mexico City coins were distributed to several destinations in Mexico and sold as bullion coins.

    I became interested in researching these coins several years ago and acquired several Mexico 1898 pesos, both original and 1949 restrikes, including one graded by our host PCGS as MS-62 for $70.
