i got these today 2 hours ago

 

$25 for the pair, landed. I have no idea why someone would have graded these. But it fills 2 of the 3 empty slots of a pre-64, circulated, Washington set.

Last hole is 40 D.

 

nice

 

1880 S Morgan MS-65 I think she is close to proof like

 

Here are the other three cents I acquired with the 1980 shown on the previous page.

 

I've been watching for this issue for some time - it's an esoteric issue that is part of my 1840 mint set. What I love about this coin is the super nice details for this lower collector grade (VF30). Thank you, Coast Coin. This coin in this grade is usually a mess! The dime design changed mid-year 1840, the vast majority of the mintage was without drapery - the changes to the design way more significant than just the addition of the drapery - shield shifted, rock redisigned. They are way expensive in higher grades and a lot of those are a mess too. These first year with drapery pieces are relatively rare and especially so in VF grades that have good details, etc. Will send it off to CAC someday when I have a few that would be worth checking out.

 

I like my coins to show what the designer intended.

I want to like Peace dollars, but they just seem so poorly made to me. The features always seem blurry, and the specimens I have seen are also badly banged up.

I also wanted a high-relief dollar, but the prices for a sharp, clean, well-made example are too high for me.

This fantasy piece was my solution. Thanks to a heads-up from members here on CoinTalk, I was able to get one of the 100 pieces produced. I know some of you have philosophical differences, but I invite you to just put those aside and appreciate the beauty of this piece with me.

It adheres more closely to the original proposal, using the Roman numerals that were originally suggested. The imagery of the broken sword was later changed when the coin went into production. More fascinating information is available on the website.

Here is the design as produced by the mint.



And this is the Daniel Carr (@dcarr) overstrike.
