I GOT a direction!

I've been aimless for some time now, just picking up odd stuff that looks good.

But I've decided to chase down Peace Dollars and American Silver Eagles!

I'm just a sucker for good-looking large silver coins. My Peace Dollar collection starts with a near-black, excellent condition 1922.

oops, maybe this needs to get filed under US coins.

 

Not neccesarily, But we would love to see a picture of your peace dollar.

 

Congrats and good luck, the Peace dollars are a great set:thumb:.

 

I'll see what I can do about a picture. It's "toned" to the extreme.

 

Both excellent choices...the Peace dollars can keep you busy a long time if you get into the VAM varieties and I've always felt that the silver eagles do more justice to the intricate design of the walker. I would also like to see your '22, I love the beauty of a nicely toned silver.

mostly for morgans but they have peace dollars there too!

 

I have to say, the silver thalers are pretty nifty and so are, for the historical reasons, the Papal states stuff. I like ancient Greek silver, too, but am totally gunshy about replicas, etc.

 

I like your choices.

Good luck, and if you can post a photo of the "black" peace dollar, I'd be interested in seeing it.

 

Excellent ! Nice choices, siwash.

Reasonable, attainable goals. Nothing too whacky in there. Best wishes !

 

Yay for affordable precious medals... I wonder when the mints will offer rhodium coins? :bigeyes:

 

Yeah, I have to say I'm getting biased toward silver coins. I wonder if silver makes the best material for coins, technology wise. I say that having a couple of verdigris'd IHCs here that I feel kind of bad about.

 

Nice. Peace Dollars and ASEs are a couple awesome sets to put together. Good luck!
