Looks really good. Personally I got the first ones and haven't gotten anymore since. Do you think the enhanced uncirculated version will be interesting or not much? The enhanced ASEs are really cool but I wonder what they'll do with these?
well I collected Peace Dollars and started collecting all the modern versions, even the ones in a Morgan set. The Enhanced Uncirculated Version is probably gonna be "not much". I've been thinking of stopping getting all these considering spot is under $60ish with retail of $173 ... yikes that's a lot of engineering, design and manufacturing overhead. Too bad to a coin shop they're just worth spot. At least their "artwork" .. at least that's the way I look at it.
They look too much for me. I like older coins. The history is what interests me. I do like the reverse proof 2017 Kennedy Half though. (From my collection).
I missed the 2021 Peace. I did get my FIL the '23 proof. I did get one of these Reverse Proofs, and I really like it, except the price....lol

That is a nice looking modern dollar. But for being modern at my age, it’s way too expensive. And I just bought an extremely expensive older coin that I needed to complete a collection.

My 2026 RP Peace Dollar came a few weeks ago. I noticed something strange on the neck. When I looked at it under a microscope it look like it had a bag mark or contact mark from the reeded edge of another Peace Dollar. You would think a proof coin is individually loaded and removed from the coin press and would suffer this type of post mint damage (PMD)Looking at it more closely the recessed parts look mirrored and the raised parts look dull I figure a contact mark should look the opposite with the recessed parts getting scatched up and abraded. Could this be some wierd die damage.
These are supposed to be specially struck and handled. If so there shouldn't be any bag marks on them.
I think that it is a strike thru of some sort, A clogged collar die or finned rim was dislodged from multiple strikes and fell between the die and planchet.
From US MINT videos I've seen they seem to put the finished coins on trays by hand. Thus one can imagine a hand slip and dropping a coin onto another coin to create bag marks. I do not know if they use their packaging robots for all products.
Thanks Collecting Nut, Pickin and Grinin and Claw Coins. It just found it strange that where I think the contact would have take place is mirrored and where it didn'nt is all rough. Also with such a clean impression it seem like there was a lot of force. If it is damage, I hesitate to call it post mint damage (PMD). I would call it post strike damage. In 2021 I posted a picture of my 2021-D Morgan with a big divot above the lips. Whatever it is I'm wondering if anybody else has similiar features on their 2026-P Peace
Nice coin, and excellent photog's. Not to be a 'Debbie Downer' but my modern collecting is severely restricted due to the huge outlay of cash required to keep it up to date. My cut off was 2025 and while I envy your purchase, I secretly chuckle at the thought of all the money I have saved by not drinking the kool aide. Best thoughts toward your collecting journey but I just can't justify the cost of keeping current. I was once known as 'modern' but now I'm known as frugal and tight wadish, which I shall probably remain to the end of my days.
The experts have always called struck thru reeded edge damage. It's random and only distracts from the coin. Unless one collects strikethroughs, It gets the bump down. Great photos..
Thanks. for "post strike damage" I was reffering to those that thought it was a bag mark. I don't collect strikethorughs but I seem to get them. I have seen pictures of a strikethough with a very long reeded edge. That one was more interesting.
