I will say MS64* just because you asked. I honestly can't grade the coin from those photos, but IMO in really makes no difference at all what the...
And trust me, they are very hard to come by indeed. As you all know, I don't collect modern coins, but unfortunately the first set of state...

Guess the grade of this 1922 Peace Dollar assigned by the TPG. Merry X-MAS and have some fun with a colorful holiday coin. No poll on this one...
The Norfolk is one of my absolute favorite Commemoratives. And my favorite Norfolk of all time can be seen below (photos courtesy of Brandon...
