Steiner Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Let me preface this post by saying that I live in Canada and older US coins are harder to come by here. I went into my coin dealer today and he had over $200 in Morgan and Peace dollars. Some of the highlights were 15 1921 Peace dollars, Two 1928 peace dollars, a 1893 O Morgan and a 1890 CC. An 87 year old man was going to give them all to the church he kept them in a coffee can but my dealer convinced him that it would be better to give them modern cash. Thank God! I scored the best 1921 and 1928 plus he allowed me to come back about two hours later and sort through the full hoard for holes in my collection. I am now $1500 poorer but man do I have a nice collection of Morgans and peace dollars. In all I got about 30 dollars and I already own about 40 Morgan and peace dollars so this has been a real boon for me. All non slabbed coins. ;) If I get some time I will try and post some of these but I am working on the installment plan and I wont have all of them for a while.

Dan769 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I think people would be stunned what is still out there in coffee cans, boxes on bookshelf and such. Nice finds, post pics when you get the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Here is the 1921 I think Ms-60 opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hard to tell from the scan and because of the toning but I would think better than MS-60. Maybe 63? Glad to see you were able to score so many Silver Dollars at once. Sometimes it pays to be in the right place at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Here is the 1921 I think Ms-60 opinions? I'll guess MS62 (obverse) and MS63 (reverse), and the toning on it is really nice. Beautiful uncleaned coin! If you ever send this to NGC I would be curious to know how they grade it. And if you ever want to sell it...
