2026 (1776-2026) enhanced uncirculated Morgan VS Peace Dollar.

Good Day, I didn't see this discussion archived so here it goes.

I am asking for your august opinion as to which silver dollar will look most appealing with "enhanced" features.

The 1776-2026 Morgan or Peace Dollar with "enhanced" features.

The query is NOT whether you plan on buying any of these two items now or later.

Realizing that no US Mint photo has been disclosed yet, this is purely hypothetical for those with imagination.

I tried to have Grok answer and produce probable pictures, but that did not result satisfactorily.

Fundamentally, I wonder which coin type/design will lend itself best for "enhanced" features.

The 2013 W "enhanced uncirculated" ASE has given me some visual clues about possible enhanced trait possibilities.

If anybody can drum up a decent artificial intelligence portrayal-mock up, go for it !!

    I got no clue as I am not USMINT.

    But to hedge my 250th bets I am subscribed to everything with a solid 10 day cancelation planned before each is fleshed out with text & imagery of these many mysterious offers happen, or not.

    Fair enough, "Fundamentally, I wonder which coin type/design will lend itself best for "enhanced" features."

    For example, I have read external comments that the Morgan is a coin with a 'big head obverse' and 'too busy looking already' and too Victorian looking.

    I have read external comments that many collectors favor the Peace dollar for its cleaner look and almost art deco design elements. (Not my words)

    Which coin might most likely lend itself best to "enhanced" features, hypothetically speaking.

    It is almost an artistic design question and not "are ya gonna buy or not", or "does Mikey like it" ?

    Thanks

    In regard to the new Morgan and Peace Dollars, I prefer the Peace Dollar, and I prefer the uncirculated Peace dollar over the proof. I have no idea how the enhanced dollars will look but I assume I'd like the Peace Dollar better.

    Which one looks better as a proof? The usual answer is whichever design you favored in the first place.

    The two design comments you quote aren't universal. They are, again, simply individual preference.

    Ai answer: "No, the 2026 Enhanced Uncirculated Peace Dollar will not be a proof dollar; it will be a distinct finish separate from proof coins. The Enhanced Uncirculated finish is different from the traditional proof finish used for other coins.

    The Morgan and Peace dollar listings for 2026 on the mint website have been mislabeled for months. They have the reverse proofs listed individually that should be a set.

    The 2026 listings, in general, are a mess.

    The listings are almost as much of a mess as the backend

    I saw a video pop up ad on utube that featured the Morgan and Peace slowly tumbling forward. The reverses have a P mintmark. In text in same ad they show these are one ounce 999 fine silver whereas have been .859 of oz. Because of this I maxed my reverse proof set subs to 5 of HHL 5 and added 3 each of 10 of uncs and 3 each of 10 single reverse proofs. Nothings out before June 9th so they'll flesh them out.

    Plenty of time to keep or bump up or quit.

    I wonder if 2 coin Philly Minted set Morgan and Peace with HHL 2 no max stated will get the 1776~2026 treatment similar to 24k Buffalo as they seem to have separated reverse proofs into singles. Reverse proof have been S mintmarked pair.

    Its a mystery but I am subscribed months ahead.

    How exactly do you know what you are getting? When I signed up for the Morgan Peace unc two coin ( HHL 2) set I was confirmed for a 2025 reverse proof set with an HHL 5 and a completely different item number. The people answering phones at the mint denied what was on the scree in front of me. I’m concerned I will get a couple sets of last years issue

    I just got the enhanced unc Peace dollar. I have to say, I really like the look. I'm tempted to get a second one. Although I'll probably wait until silver crashes down to $30 next year and I can buy one for $100 :p

    Mine were in the bubble mailers I posted about yesterday. I have to agree, I really like the look also!! Though, I have to disagree w/$30 again.

    I'll come up with something.

    They don't automaticalky reprice those based on silver prices. Silver could be $5 and they might still charge $170.

    He could potentially buy one for $100 on eBay next year even if spot is at current levels.

    I noticed they have no mintmark, but the COA says West Point.

    That's true, but the current price is based on silver being at $100+ I think. Although maybe not, because when it was in the 20s, they were selling 1oz NCLTs for $55-60. But the secondary market would be selling them for closer to bullion.
