I was off today and couldn't get that peace dollar I mentioned recently off my mind, so I gathered some cull coins and some other stuff to trade (common date coins just sitting around) and headed back to the LCS. I got the peace dollar and this stone mountain commemorative half, which the owner told me they were in the same lot of dropped off coins and these were the best looking toned coins of the bunch. I would have to agree with him on that, as these are very eye-catching! My pictures don't exactly do them justice, but I'll try anyways. All in all, straight trade for the peace (ask was $550) and the stone mountain was $80. I was thinking about buying an 1835 bust half (cleaned, higher AU) but couldn't bring myself to buy another problem coin after the '89-CC earlier this week. It would've just been an album filler because I want to pull my other bust half from my 7070 to get graded, but 2 problem coins in one week didn't feel right. Anyways, here's some pics of today's stuff. Enjoy!
Nice pick ups. I’m not good with commemorative coins but it does look nice. The Peace Dollar looks to be VF-30 range to me. I could add either coin to my collection. Well done.
Thanks! But that VF-30 is harsh! Lol! This looks minimum of AU, likely low MS to me. I did say that my pictures don't do it justice, so there's definitely that part that doesn't help much. But there's definitely luster underneath that toning, and a few unfortunate contact marks, too, but she's certainly a pretty coin in hand!
Nice looking peace dollar. Tough to grade by a picture but it looks mint to me, lots of feather detail on the eagle shoulder. Really like the toning. Good looking Stone Mt also
Honestly, I thought you were going to post a photo of them: nice coins, they will get you in less trouble than cheating.
