I had a dream about my 1921 Peace dollar last night.

Just so this isn't TOTALLY OT, here's a couple of my crappy pictures...

Anyway, in my dream, for some reason, I took the coin out of the holder. Something seemed strange about it, and holding it by the edges, I held it next to my ear and shook/rotated it, and I could hear something moving around inside. Anyway, after I had examined it a bit longer, the damn thing cracked in half image

It cracked in the plane of the coin, so I had two thin dollar-sized pieces. I tried to put them back together, and then another chunk broke off one of the halves. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!! I had gotten a defective coin, but having already taken it out of the NGC holder, I had no recourse.


Then, somehow, I was in a elevator with Mark Feld, telling him about the situation. He told me that I could have checked this when I bought the coin. He demonstrated by pulling a slabbed 1794 dollar out of his pocket, and tossing it on the floor of the elevator. He picked it up and held it next to my ear and said "Do you hear that ring? That's what SOLID SILVER sounds like." He then agreed to help me obtain a really awesome 1921 Peace in PCGS MS64. I felt better, but I was still kind of upset about the whole situation.

    Sounds like you need to take a vacation. Maybe a tour of one of our US mints.



    PS: very nice Peace piece.

    Mark Feld is also known as Coinguy 1 on the forum. He is a former grader at NGC and a hell of an American!

    I don't know if I should be flattered, (very) nervous or BOTH!imageimage

    By the way, while I might throw a 1795 Dollar on the floor, I wouldn't do that with a 1794 Dollar.image

    There is a grading service or two were that could be a real possibility.

    I listen to your voice like it was music, [ y o u ' r e ] the song I want to know.

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.
