[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3043335, member: 77814"]I'll add this. I love Peace Dollars. I collect them. I never knew there was a Proof version. I've never bothered actually looking. Though I've read a lot (or so I thought) about them and have a good collection. A long time ago when I was trying to determine if my 1922s were potentially high relief - because we all want to wish something impossible, I started buying 1921 high relief to compare it to. Nope, not even close when you have them in hand to compare. Even a few months ago I asked about one of my self cleaned coins and someone mentioned Medium Relief. Go figure, I gave up hope of ever having that one-in-a-trillion find. Since I buy my Peace Dollars in the market you have to assume they've been looked at a billion times. The only discoveries are going to happen from grandpa's coin box hidden away for decades. Learning about the distinct differences in coins requires research, and truthfully to buy them and have them in hand to compare. Pictures don't help much really. With out knowledge a picture only helps to see a coin and not really know it's details even if they are outlined. Have the info, and the coins in hand really help in learning. Until then, just be assured the million dollar coins were already found out decades ago. Posters (even me) get sarcastic and just tell posters to send their coins in for grading when they just keep ignoring statements to the opposite of what [U]they want to believe[/U]. And it comes down to that .. one's belief of what they have. One has to understand that one is not the FIRST person to start looking for rare coins. matter of fact, I'm going to assume hundreds if not thousands of collectors looked at that one coin that you have. Of course, unless it was found in grandpas coin box hidden away for decades.[/QUOTE]
