My Peace Dollar collection which I started a few months ago is growing rapidly. I have taken a very interesting approach to assembling this set. I have no set goals at all. I am not looking for any particular look or grade. I simply look at Peace Dollars and if I like the coin's eye appeal, I bid on or buy it. It should be a very diverse set indeed upon completion. I have posted the three newest additions and the set in progress photos below. Let me know what you think!






At some point, I am sure that I will end up having duplicates, but I guess that is inevitable when employing this shotgun collecting method.

You just described precisely how I collect. Not if its rare, not if its valuable, but if I like it for some reason. Best of luck to you.

I was tempted to include this 1923-S in the collection, but decided I did have one criteria for the set.

Anyone care to guess the grades of the newest additions?

Newest additions being only the first 3?

Yes, the first three. Take a whack at them.

Thats a very nice beginning to a set! I like the diversity represented. Sometimes I look at sets with uniform strike and coloring and luster, and to be honest, they're boring as heck. See one and you've seen them all. I like the fact that each and every piece you have there is different in all these aspects and makes for a much more ineteresting looking set of coins.

It's an excellent set and I like your approach. There is a certain logic behind collecting every coin in a series in the same grade with the same look, but I like a more random and varied approach. Good job!

rlm's cents

Not that I know what I am saying, but....

1923- 63
1927- 64
1934- 65

Oh so close, look at number 3 a little more carefully, there are some slide marks on the cheek.

rlm's cents

Yes, I see the grade on that 34 and Peace dollars are not exactly my area, but I don't see the problem with that 34. It is not a great strike, but it is still a very clean coin - slide marks or not. Are you sure that is not more PCGS versus NGC? Or, my opinion, just undergraded?
