Just something about this Peace dollar caught my attention and I had to own it

braddick · August 16, 2011 9:00AM

Not a really big deal, but I was drawn to the overall look of this Peace dollar. The patina coupled with the strike. Just a neat coin that didn't break the bank.

Wanted to share. Sometimes cool coins come along and you're haunted on the idea of owning it.

Does anyone else share in this feeling?

nice strike not over priced, looks fine.

ambro51 · August 16, 2011 9:08AM

Certainly a pleasing coin. I like the definition in the hair.

good to see it didnt end up in the melt pot.

jedm · August 16, 2011 9:23AM

I like it too! Good value and attractive to look at. Nice job.

AUandAG · August 16, 2011 9:28AM

Why would you buy a counterfeit for $36? Look at the reverse AMERICA/UNUM. Perhaps it's just
damage or the pic????

Hmmmmm

braddick · August 16, 2011 9:35AM

Bob, I don't see the damage you are refering too and I don't believe it is a counterfeit.

First order of business when you get it in hand, coin ring toss...hoping it doesn't split in half when flicked.

I hate to say this, but from the pic it does'nt seem right
looks like a good lead cast, hope i'm wrong though.

There has never been a coin posted that someone doesn't call counterfeit. It's fine, worth melt but fine.

Looks like a toning spot but will examine closely when it arrives.

epcjimi1 · August 16, 2011 10:28AM

Even the eagle has a look of chagrin at how bad the fake is.

MICHAELDIXON · August 16, 2011 11:33AM

My first thought was it was a reproduction. Counterfeit is such a harsh word!

CarlWohlforth · August 16, 2011 11:35AM

Cool to see you posting!

Please do let us know how this one turns out. I trust you will know once in hand. Something about that photo makes me shy away, but I trust you to know for sure when it arrives...

TexasNationals · August 16, 2011 11:40AM

Not my series, so take with several grains of salt, not even sure they had proofs that year, but it seems exceptionally hammered.

Groiny · August 16, 2011 12:14PM

looks fake - but I know squat ..........

Pat : r u at the ANA ?

lordmarcovan · August 16, 2011 12:30PM

I got a counterfeit Peace dollar in a silver lot, once. It turned out to be worth as much as the real ones in the same lot. Of course, bullion was lower at the time. I had no trouble selling the counterfeit.

Kinda hard to lose on this one at the price, be it fake or real. I've had real ones with this look. It's a nice look.

WoodenJefferson · August 16, 2011 12:47PM

Is that a "coaster ring" I see there?

Now I'm just picking on you.

braddick · August 16, 2011 2:59PM

You guys have given me pause on this coin.
I will definitely shoot photos and post when it arrives.

I still vote real yet will eat crow if it is otherwise.

adamlaneus · August 16, 2011 3:02PM

The auction listing says:

"Much nicer in color than the terrible photo".

In color?!? Hm. Hopefully the seller meant in person.

Maybe it's quite pleasantly toned in hand if the seller took the pictures in black and white

Reproduction is the first thought that came to mind, but then I also collect sample slabs, nuff said!

Bear · August 17, 2011 9:07AM

If you really like the coin, you do not need any other opinions.

The coin does nothing for me, but that is just my opinion. Having

said that, remember, buy what you like and the priority is on the

word...YOU! Not everyone will like what you like, that is why the

coin is in YOUR COLLECTION and not in their collections..

Groiny · August 17, 2011 12:19PM

.oh Patrick

R U @ the ANA ?

Justlooking · August 17, 2011 1:27PM

I'm thinking I kinda like it. Solid pickup!

Frankcoins · August 17, 2011 2:13PM

My first impression : fake

My second impression: real but a Clorox job

Groiny · August 18, 2011 8:01AM

so Mr. Braddick .........................I take it your not at the ANA

coolest · August 18, 2011 8:09AM

Im also going to say it looks odd, how much does it weigh?

fiveNdime · August 18, 2011 9:16AM

<< <i>Could there be a indentation of some sort to the right of the "E" on the obv? >>

that caught my eye as well.
the R doesnt seem to show any...

braddick · August 18, 2011 9:39AM

<< <i>so Mr. Braddick .........................I take it your not at the ANA >>

No, I am not but by the reports that are trickling in, sounds like a terrific time is being had.

As soon as this Peace dollar arrives I'll post a couple of photos. Good, bad or ugly.

OldEastside · August 27, 2011 10:12AM

Well whats the verdict?

Steve

Twobitcollector · August 27, 2011 10:14AM

Realy nice coin congrats

adamlaneus · August 27, 2011 10:17AM

Check this out:

eBay auction for 1923 peace dollar

Described as "toned spots" on obverse and "dark" reverse. No picture of the reverse is provided; the auction leaves that to the imagination of the bidder.
