Peace $ plunder

3-4 years ago I said, the 1926 P in ms 65 was a sleeper. I also stated that the 25 s in 64 was a great investment lol. I've told several people to stay away from the 34 S and stock up on the 28 P instead haha.
Of course the numismatic market has it's ups and downs. BUT for now, I'm just gonna have to own it.
The only good news, is that I got away from the Peace Dollars about 3 years ago and NEVER plan on purchasing another one.

The only good news concerning the Peace Dollar is that the 21 and all the 27 mints, and 35 S seem to be holding out ok. That's about it though. Oh well. Maybe they will catch fire after this post lol.

 

I understand. Only one in my collection is a toner 28 in 64. If I could find a 21 in 64-5 with a nailed full strike and great luster and appeal I’d be all over it too

 

Huh. At the last local show, someone asked a nearby dealer if he was looking for 1921 Peace dollars, and he laughed in their face. He said he was still looking for 1928-P's, but that everyone was swimming in 1921's.

Me, I'm still keeping my eyes open for unsung 1934-S's in anything approaching AU or better. Happening across a 1928-P was one of the things that dragged me back into the hobby seven or eight years ago, but I've watched that coin's value drop by about half over that span. (Actually, that's probably overstated, as it looks like someone took steel wool to it...)

 

Aaaugghh!! STEEL WOOL??? I can hear Lady Liberty screaming from here!

 

Here’s my Peace Dollar I recently added to my type set. I made sure to get one that hadn’t been steel wooled

 

I buy the coin not the slab!

 

Take the mintage of 1921's, divide it by 100, and you have the number of full strikes, which would be about 10,000. Now figure that at least half of those have been mishandled or cleaned and you have a rough estimate of what's out there worth collecting. The nice ones are tough and easy to sell to those that know how scarce they are.

 

Pretty dollar, even with the fingerprint toning.

 

I happen to love the Peace Dollar. Here's my 1926.

Here's my '21. While not 65 luster, it is a very clean coin for a MS64. There is plenty of luster left on the coin and I thought a decent amount of hair detail on the ear.

This is a MS64. Luster bomb.

Good luck bill. If and when a unicorn like that shows up it puts a major dent in the buyers wallet

 

I remember your 28 ms 64 quite well. It is a nice coin. Good luck on finding that 21 with a full strike. I could be wrong, but aren't most 21's weakly struck in the center? You could find a nice clean lustrous 64-65 though.

 

She's currently has me about 100-150$ in the hole. That's ok though. I still love the frosty white.

 

Ues they are but full or near full strikes are out there but they are unicorns. They're called Apple face 21's because it makes the upper check and center area look like an apple

Mistake #3
Wow! How this coin has dropped in price.
