I saw that, and since I didn't plan on ordering them it's all good with me.

 

Glad here too! baffling 2 days before AE gold release no pricing yet! Not that I wanted any though

 

They are saying it is due to "sliver planchet shortages." This does open up an opportunity for @dcarr to produce some 2022 Morgan and Peace dollars. TC

 

I will admit to being a bit disappointed if that means no Proof Peace Dollar (the only one I'd be interested in, unless it was butt ugly.) But that also means I won't have to worry about buying anything from the Mint this year.

 

I thought the standard gold releases were priced according to the Mint's bullion-price chart?

 

I’m not interested so it doesn’t matter.

 

Honestly it's probably better for the series to have the year break instead of just putting out a new version every year. Keeps it fresh spacing it out

 

It'll come out Wednesday

 

I was mildly disappointed but I'm over it. It makes me wonder if they'll actually come back in 2023. The hype from the 100th anniversary will be over. They could get put on back burner and forgotten. I think the 2021s should have been it as an anniversary issue. I wouldn't bank on them coming back. There could still be a silver planchet shortage in 2023 and who knows what idea they could come up with between now and then.

 

Good, it'll take me 2 years to save for a beat up one.

 

Fine with me. They are not real Morgan or Peace Dollars. They were cheap imitations of the originals.

 

Lets get this strait.... they weren't cheap!

 

They're 100% real for what they are and aren't imitations of anything.

 

They are not part of either the Morgan or Peace dollar series. They are anniversary coins.

 

They are 100% mint issued Morgans and Peace dollars. If someone doesnt want to include them in a set by all means don't, no one is saying they have to be. Calling them cheap imitations just isnt accurate though.

 

deleted AE gold chat. should be in it's own thread!

 

There are so many fakes out there I might start collecting all types of fakes.

 

Then maybe the 1921 Morgans also weren't "real Morgans"...it was 17 years since the last ones in 1904, plus there were design changes/tweaks, however minor. So now it's 100 years and again some changes...so what...? Still legal tender though not issued/intended for circulation...so what...? To each their own with opinions. That said, maybe they will and maybe they won't return in 2023.

 

Yeah, we could chase the "no true Morgan" arguments all year.

For me, personally, the composition change grates more than the design changes (ignoring the whole O/CC "privy" business). Yeah, there were composition changes for other series in the past -- but it feels different when it's not a continuous made-for-circulation series.

Maybe the Mint could try to spin this as a "commemoration" of skipping 1922 for quarters and halves...
