<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gregg, post: 2895206, member: 90419&quot;]I reviewing a newly purchased uncirculated Peace Dollar (1) with my father and he said, <i>&quot;It is too bad they couldn&#039;t remove those water spots&quot;.&nbsp; </i>I thought aloud, <i>&quot;At least nobody has messed with it.&quot;&nbsp; </i>Somehow for me little indications that a coin hasn&#039;t been screwed with are becoming very important.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though I&#039;m very new at this my taste in coins has changed dramatically over the past two months.&nbsp; The coins that initially would grab my attention in a dealer&#039;s offerings now appear gaudy, ostentatious, and silly.&nbsp; Thank you all for your help with that.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have some Peace Dollars that look as if they&#039;ve been dipped in chrome and buffed to a mirror finish. (2) It is a coin that called to me two months ago as the <i>real steal</i> at the dealer&#039;s table.&nbsp; Now I&#039;d use such a coin as a gauge of the dealer&#039;s honesty.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was jwitten&#039;s post on &quot;Guess the grade on my newest Gold...&quot; that got me thinking about this, because honestly, that toned coin is one of the most beautiful coins I&#039;ve seen in quite some time - a perspective I don&#039;t think I would of held a couple of months ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, I know I have a great deal to learn but even a rudimentary knowledge seems to eliminate many bad buys.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>NOTES</p><p>---------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>1: So much better than War Dollars.</p><p>2:&nbsp; My wife uses one as a pocket mirror to fix her makeup on the way to work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
