I got some Morgans and Peace dollars from my grandfather that were all dark like the lower Morgans in your pic. I just got standard air-tites for them. About all they need at this point. One of them I carry in my wallet.
Nice gift, they all look like nice AU's It takes a person well practised to dip uncirculated coins properly, don't ever dip circ's.......you will turn them into buillion in a hurry.
Which brings up another question I have often wondered. Personally, I'd be pretty happy to be able to buy improperly dipped but otherwise undamaged morgan and peace dollars in F to AU condition for bullion value, currently about $10. But whenever I see cleaned silver dollars for sale they are not heavily discounted, so I don't buy them. Are these coins really available someplace for $10?
ok. I went ahead and ordered air-tites. They look awesome, I got the ones with the black ring. I ordered them from www.jpscorner.com (shipping was 7 bucks instead of 13-14) and two days later they came in. I will post pics tomarrow or sat. Thanks guys for the recommendation and comments -mike.
I could be wrong, BUT... That 1922 Peace looks like a medium, or high-relief version. I am under the impression that on the regular (low relief) version, the ray that passes through the "N" in "ONE DOLLAR" stops at exactly the same level as the top of the N. The ray on this coin appears to extend above the N a small amount. Could be a die chip, or some kind of damage, but I thought you might like to check it out. Others that know more about this, please chime in and prove me right or wrong!
If it is the high relief version doesnt that mean that it a Matte proof. How do I tell the difference? Thanks
The matted proof is Proof, square rims, matted surfaces and highly polished. The High Relief is a circulating business strike. Ruben
