[QUOTE="Mark Kerner, post: 24693193, member: 113035"]I happen to be a “lucky” recipient of a 2023 Philadelphia mint Peace Dollar, Director’s Strike. I ordered two of the coins, and when I opened the box (ooooh, a big mistake!), I discovered I had one. As just a run-of-the-mill collector, I do not regularly send in my coins to a TPGS before opening the box. I called the grading services, and as expected, they wouldn’t designate the coin inside the box with the special signed and numbered COA as a Director’s Strike coin. I also called the Mint to tell them that if they were to run this type of promotion, they should at least attempt to make the coin itself different in some way (perhaps a privy?) to prove the coin is different than the others. The only thing I have that makes this purchase different than any other 2023 Peace Dollar is the signed and numbered COA that comes inside the box. How much would that be worth? I see other Peace dollars offered up on eBay for a couple of thousands, but, of course, there is no way to guarantee that the coin in question came inside the box with the signed and numbered COA. So essentially, I see the Director’s Strike as something that’s pretty worthless. So, what do you think?[/QUOTE]
