    That would be a pretty good trick, considering there were no dollar coins struck for circulation between 1935 and 1970. ;)

    Halves, yes.

    Maybe there are commemoratives or Canadians?

    No commemorative US dollars in that period, either, but Canadian is a different story.

    Dang. That really looks like an S mint mark. What say you @paddyman98 and the other error guys?

    I think this 1923 is doubled on her chin, lip, nose and front of her neck.. Am I wrong? And when I ran it through coin scope it came back with error coins as examples.. image000000.jpg image000000~2.jpg

    I, for one, would forego the gloves. If you aren't used to them, it makes you more likely to drop them. I would however make sure my hands are clean and handle the coins by the edges. Good habits should be developed early.

    For more exposure the 1923 Peace dollar would probably get more replies if posted on the "Error Coins" forum. You should also post full size photos of the reverse and clear photos of the area(s) in question. Contact a few of our error coin experts: @Fred Weinberg; @mikediamond; @paddyman98; @JCro57; @furryfrog02; @desertgem; et al.
    Also, if you already have the app for coinoscope, I'm guessing you're familiar with all the available apps re coin collecting. PCGS and NGC have a few good ones.

    The 1923 dollar looks normal to me, but feel free to post it on the Errors forum.

    That little "S" is quite intriguing. I am 99% sure it is not an error, but rather something done outside the mint (a counterstamp). Why is the question. I doubt it's anything that will add value, but it's interesting, for sure.

    Might as well become a coin collector, like the rest of us on here. Unless you are broke and hungry, there is no real need to sell any coins, unless you just want to pass them over to someone else. Be the caretaker of the coins you have, maybe for the rest of your life. Think about it, you get to hold history in your hand. Wonder about where that coin has been, what it may have bought. I think thoughts like that about some of my ancient Roman and Indian coins. 2000 years is a long time ago, so is 100 years ago, and I feel lucky to have some of those bits of treasure to fondle and cherish.

    If this is in reference to the acetone soak, why not, it won't hurt the coin.
