[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1005830, member: 2972"]Yes, I have heard of these coins.... There are a group of coins that look like this in NGC holders that start with 3144xx and 3145xx in MS 63 to MS 65 grades and all from 1924 (see the 3 HA auctios for pics of the holders). They came to market at the same time, and the story goes they are all AT. It appears, from the first group of coins posted above, that some of these coins have made their way into newer NGC and PCGS slabs. In 2007, I had one of them in my possession, on approval from a dealer. I sent the coin back, and it is pictured below: [img]http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/89541889/original.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/89541899/original.jpg[/img] One of the members of the PCGS forums (whose name escapes me at the moment) had a great deal of info on this group of coins and was convinced they were AT (the story was they were found in a leather pouch, as I recall). I can only speak to the coin I had in my own two hands, and it didn't appear like any naturally-toned (or roll-toned) coin I've seen before, much less any other peace dollars. Respectfully....Mike p.s. I am not calling anyone a liar, I am only sharing what I've seen and read about this particular "hoard" of coins.[/QUOTE]
