Congratulations, Steven88. I don't have any advice, but I love the Peace Dollar too. I have two specimens, both 1922, a common date. Both are well...
Coinlover, you didn't explain how you know you would pay the higher prices for singles. Were you looking at an ad, printed or on the Internet? Did...
Talk about "high relief." That battle scene is just the kind of thing I was talking about that we sensual numismatists like to run our fingers...

Coin value is determined by date, mint mark and condition. A knowledgeable numismatist can determine these factors simply by examining the coin....
But nobody named Roy contributed to this thread.
I can't find it now, but in one of my numismatic magazines, the author of an essay mentions various uses that collectors put their collections to....
