<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 299923, member: 2972&quot;]While I honestly don&#039;t have a clue why this is really the case, I&#039;ve seen several other reasons thrown about for the lack of toned Peace dollars, including:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Lack of bag-stored examples (unlike Morgan Dollars, many of which acquired their toning from the bags in Treasury storage).</p><p>2) Planchet preparation differences (more highly polished, different wash/rinsing techniques, etc.)</p><p>3) Increased relief causing more metal flow (and kind of related to GDMSP&#039;s point above)</p><p><br /></p><p>I would guess that for every thousand attractively toned Morgans, there&#039;s one attractive toned Peace dollar, if not more.&nbsp; They are that rare.&nbsp; In fact, I&#039;ve only seen TWO nicely toned Peace dollars in the past 4 years -- all owned by collectors unwilling to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
