[QUOTE="900fine, post: 417795, member: 6036"]Peace dollars ? Excellent choice. Enjoy ! Very best wishes. Let's assume you're gonna "buy the coin, not the slab". That requires you have expertise in coin grading in general, and [B]this series in particular[/B]. The PR69 modern coins require little expertise. Peace dollars are much trickier. Personally, I feel it is wise to accumulate some acumen and experience before plunking down the biggest $$$ on the toughest keys. The learning period doesn't have to be lengthy; maybe a few months is enough. Once you feel confident you can grade the series accurately, then sure... go for the keys if you like. I like to have several around and play "U Grade 'Em" with a friend. That helps me learn. Also, I like to go to coin shows and cast my eyes on as many as possible. No shortage of Peace dollars ! Ask questions at shows. Dealers and other hobbyists are very helpful.[/QUOTE]
