<p>[QUOTE="planman2014, post: 2305527, member: 71412"]When I mean 30 minutes ago it was technically 3 days ago but it was a large collection of almost entirely common Peace dollars. Also some nice Seated Liberty halves and a few Morgans (Including a pretty nice 91-cc). Collection was inherited from father. Son was a collector but by his own admission wanted the money more than the 500 or so coins. Can't blame anybody. Now about 30 minutes ago as I go through this large collection I opened a package of what I thought was another set of 1923 Peace and in a 2x2 holder I see this. How in the world me AND the son missed it is beyond me. We went through them in pretty good detail but in hindsight I think we got lazy and just inventoried rolls without actually going through them. Stupid on my part because with my luck there would be 40 cast counterfeits in there. I have attached some ok not great pictures. Nothing wrong in terms of diameter or weight and nothing glaring to me that says fake but as I have started doing: let the community take this journey with me. I have an old Bowers-Borckardt somewhere that I am pretty sure I have never, ever had to use. Ever.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/gmmoc2007/1802%20Dollar%20Raw/image%2017_zpsqczdsnvp.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/gmmoc2007/1802%20Dollar%20Raw/image%2018_zpsi0huizuy.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/gmmoc2007/1802%20Dollar%20Raw/image%2016_zpsx6mctzax.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
