I recently bought this to add to my collection of encased silver dollars. This is the only one I have seen like it:

A glob of plastic on the inside of the holder.
If you look closely, you can see about four more of those round plastic globs. Very cool blast from the past!
Cool!!

Actually, I see five more plastic dots.... Interesting piece though, but I naturally wonder what the reverse looks like. Cheers, RickO
I like 👍
Lucite, or a shell?
It is a fairly thin plastic encapsulation.
Similar to the type of "blister pack" that a lot of new products are housed in for display on hooks at stores.
Coolest thing I have seen today.
Interesting place of origin too.
Found this on the NGC site.
It belongs to "EXOJUNKIE".
Could another forum member, @EXOJUNKIE, have a Morgan version?

Here are a couple of old advertisements for the program:
~ 1949 - page #73;
~ 1957 - page #23.
I can tell from the obverse strike characteristics that it is a Philadelphia Mint product.
Something tells me you wouldn't like it. 😉
At last, a 1922 Peace Dollar that is actually interesting!
Could you elaborate?
What is the main characteristic to tell it’s a P mint on peace dollars?
By the way ima big D carr fan here, learned so much from your website and videos - thanks for all you do. One of my favorite coins is a Dan Carr peace dollar over strike … the 2 oz 1921 high relief and you made some cameo proofs that are amazing. I also have your covid tokens - so cool!
Anyway - thanks for sharing and all the best to you.
Thanks,
1922 D and S mint Peace dollars tend to have rounded rims. The Philadelphia issue tends to have broader flatter rims.
Also the Philadelphia coins tend to develop the splotchy toning and/or "milk-spotting" whereas the D and S coins don't as much.
Great pick up Dan.

Super neat, good find. Never seen one like it either.

Always great to see something new.

If you study the unstruck portions of off-center coins you can see how the upsetting of the rims on the planchets varied from Mint to Mint. This affected how the rims struck up on the finished coins. Study enough coins and you can see these tendencies.

Really cool piece from my hometown!
@dcarr- if you want more Brunswick, GA exonumia, message me and I’ll send you a couple of my custom elongates.
Thanks for the offer. I don't specifically collect Brunswick Georgia items (or even Georgia in general, unless Dahlonega
).
The only location that I specifically collect is Colorado items. But I do collect encased silver dollars from anywhere.
Oh, I know. I just was offering an elongated Barber dime and Wheat cent.
Yes, I still own that Morgan Dollar version. I’ve had 2-3 of them over the years. Of the 200+ different encased silver dollars in my collection this one has always been one of my favorites.
