<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1037036, member: 15445&quot;]This thread is in the spirit of calumsherwood’s thread titled “Friday’s Purchase”.&nbsp;&nbsp; This one is my Sunday purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you had told me that I was going to buy a Peace dollar at the Liberty coin club show, I would have not thought it possible.&nbsp; However, this coin just called out to me when I saw it.&nbsp; It is raw.&nbsp; It was amongst a hundred other raw US coins but its luster got my attention from afar.&nbsp; Upon closer inspection, the obverse looks very well struck and free of detracting marks.&nbsp; The price was right (about half way between gray sheet MS63 and MS64).&nbsp; IMO the only thing holding this coin back from a MS65 or better are the nicks in the reverse eagle’s feathers.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Some years ago, I bought a really nice 1925 P.&nbsp; At that time I read in Breen’s encyclopedia that the Philadelphia mint was known to do a really good job on both the 1925 &amp; 1926.&nbsp; I seem to recall learning that in order for a TPG to give a MS65; the coin dated 1925 or 1926 has to be very special.&nbsp; Maybe some of our dollar experts can comment on that.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will post some additional photos in an attempt to depict the awesome luster present on this coin.&nbsp; Wear your sunglasses because it might hurt your eyes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for letting me share &amp; please post your Peace dollar photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
