A local Denver TV news channel broadcast a story about these last night:...
The "before" and "after" photos are definitely the same medal. The lighting angle makes them look a little bit different. If you look at the 1982...
Actually, it is. And one of the last "1964-D" Peace over-strikes that I produced. The polished fields and lighting angle make the mint mark appear...

The guy in the video stated that he wasn't an expert and that he was not going to make claims either way (that the coin was an original or a...

The next 2-troy-oz Peace Dollar medal will be in three years (2021) for the 100th anniversary of the first Peace Dollars. Also that year will be a...
