I would like to know are these collectible rather than just a Slab common silver dollar ? I know in the past there was a thread regarding sample slabs and would this any different ?
The grading services keep coming out with new ones each year. They give them away at the shows. Just something else that's fun to collect. Makes me think of Cam.
I really like them and you would have had one unique piece if the first two pictures had been the two sides of the actual coin !
Interesting. What am I seeing below the olive branches on the reverse, vertically below the OL of DOLLAR? That's a location for a clashed feature when the die has been clashed pretty hard, yet I don't see the shoulder spikes which ought to accompany it.
Don't really know yet. The coin will be a VAM; VAMs are the attempt to ultimately identify every single Morgan & Peace die pair, not just the "varieties," similar to Overtons. Most are of no consequence. There are thousands of VAMs. The mark I see on your coin resembles the result of a hard clash - that's the line formed by the top of the head, right in front of the cap, a known clash artifact on Peace Dollars - and I just have the researcher's curiosity whether it's actually a clash or just a scratch of some sort.
David Schwager's book lists this as NGC-100-3-3 with a value of $70. SampleSlabBook.com He also notes the MS60 is a placehplder grade, most are better than that.
