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

    If you look closely, you can see about four more of those round plastic globs. Very cool blast from the past!

    Actually, I see five more plastic dots.... Interesting piece though, but I naturally wonder what the reverse looks like. Cheers, RickO

    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.

    Found this on the NGC site.

    It belongs to "EXOJUNKIE".

    Could another forum member, @EXOJUNKIE, have a Morgan version?

    I can tell from the obverse strike characteristics that it is a Philadelphia Mint product.

    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.

    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.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    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.

    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.

    I'm addicted to exonumia ... it is numismatic crack!
