By stating it&#039;s a numismatic item and legal tender, and both SHOULD be seen as additions to the Morgan and Peace dollar series, not some new stand alone.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing that concerns me is the modern minting techniques and the differences that might be very apparent. Also, they will be able to sell them all year starting Jan. 1st 2021, so I don&#039;t think they will have any sort of limited mintage.&nbsp; for this reason I think everyone that wants one can get one, and both are going to be really common.</p><p><br /></p><p>also doesn&#039;t mention about circulation, or proof strikes, or 90% silver and the .999 silver, or any variation of numismatic items they can dream up over the course of the year. they could really get stupid on varieties for both of them between finishes, mintmarks, silver contents (not less than 90%) the mint could run with this and make a couple dozen of each design of morgan and peace dollar to collect really the way it&#039;s worded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
