My Peace Dollar pickup has arrived!

It had nothing to do with that.

My worries had to do with spending several hundred dollars on cull Peace Dollars and then being told by the post office that “they might have gotten lost”.

If that’s no big deal to you then you are welcome to send me $500. I’ll give you my PayPal.

Ok and it was shipped Priority Mail Express - 1 Day?

If not and it was shipped in any other way it’s not really relevant.

& how long did it take to arrive?

Because if it was Priority Mail Express the whole point is you get your shipping costs refunded if it’s not on time or earlier.

 

Well my friend you go to the P.O. and get a refund....live in the now!
I spent 35 years at a company where customer service was job #1 god help you if you had a complaint. That was then....this is now it may be worth your life to go complain about paying for 2 day delivery and it took 4 ....go ahead i could give a rats butt....if you want your postage back ,as for myself I dont care....again its the year after 2020 the year that had all the charm as a dumster fire...and guess what 2021 that dumster is still smokin! Wake the hell up your lucky that your package made it peroid. Try mailing something in South Africa, The Swiss made great chocolate and watches....however try and ship a box of Swiss chocolate to another country. If risking your life for the sake of postage and promised delivery all I can say is when god was giving out brains, you must of heard trains....and got on the wrong one! Not going to split hairs with you....im 67 years old and have been down far more roads than you know the names of...I'm done arguing with you.....as like the saying goes one can't fix stupid !

 

You've got a nice 1926 with the bold "GOD". If you don't know the story about the Scopes trial (even made into a movie), I recommend it. A good read for sure. Whether the bold "GOD" and its relation to the trial is just an urban myth or true, I don't know. But I would never forget the story.

 

Why payPal? Here ya go:

 

Which one?

 

Good. I’m tired of you trying to argue with me about something that your “friend” told you when people who actually work there now and know what’s going on said the total opposite.

Just stop arguing with me and move on.

If money doesn’t mean much to you that’s fine. Let people take your money. But I work hard for my money and if I don’t get what I paid for I have the right to get my money back.

If I paid for first class on an airline flight and they said “Sorry due to COVID the flight is cancelled.” or “We don’t offer first class due to COVID” you can bet I’ll demand the money I paid for first class back.

 

Right smack in the middle. Row 3, Col. 3. I think all 1926 Peace Dollars have the bold "GOD." Very interesting story. Have a read. Scopes Trial. Quite the media sensation at the time.

 

Here are a few of mine. See the bold "GOD" in 1926?

 

It looks the same to me as all the others.

 

On a circulated 1926, it can get hard to tell - yeap, I agree. More noticeable on AUs and definitely on BUs. But the story behind it is unforgettable.

 

Oh well yeah mine are in VG-XF condition so maybe that’s why it’s harder.

I will definitely check out the story behind it.

Is it just me or is the design on the reverse of the Peace Dollar very similar to the one on the reverse of them Indian Head quarter eagle?

 

It's totally different! Night and Day. The eagle is facing the other way!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

 

I know that .

Idk I just see a lot of similarities in both.

Mostly the Eagles. Not their position or location but rather the design of the Eagles themselves.

 

Major joke fail. I was agreeing with you and trying to be funny about the direction the Eagle was facing. Hahaha. There was a thread here last month about coins with similar designs. Off the top of my head, I can think of Seated Liberties, and St. George slaying the Dragon. While inventorying my hand-me-down collection, I noticed that many earlier U.S. coins have designs that mirror those from European countries.

 

Really? That’s interesting. Maybe designers are hesitant to deviate too much?

I read there was HUGE controversy by the general public with the Peace Dollar design.

Apparently there was going to be a broken sword in the ground by the eagle to symbolize the end of the war and laying down of arms among nations.

But the public was outraged an saw the broken sword as symbolizing defeat, when they had won the war.

Wikipedia has a a lot of information on the Peace Dollar page. It’s fascinating how much pride people took in currency back then. They saw it as representing and symbolizing themselves and America.

“At the time, according to Burdette, given the traumas of the Great War, Americans were highly sensitive about their national symbols, and unwilling to allow artists any leeway in interpretation.”
