[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3008735, member: 10461"]Good luck with that! I am attempting that very thing right now, and after going through at least 3,000 coins on eBay the other day, I saw maybe [I]five [/I]with the right look. Two were perfect in terms of the toning, but had rim nicks that were too extreme. One had other issues. Of the other two that went into my watch list, one has wretched photos and the other does warrant a second look. It got so that I almost decided to give up on the idea of the Peace dollars in my set having contrasting toning- it would be far easier to go all white UNCs with maybe XF-AU for the keys. (Peace dollars are one coin that I do like in bright white. But I do want to try collecting them in CircCam ... if I can find 'em!) Finding CircCam Peace dollars is WAY more challenging than I thought it would be. They're out there, but I would guess that less than 0.01 percent I've seen so far have had the right look. As of this post, I have two Peace dollars in my [URL='https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/AFWo6JUIF6oHa5hGeBD6']Dansco #7172 Silver Dollar Date Set[/URL] album, and while both are nice, neither has the "crusty" look. I might swap 'em for crustier examples later. (Edit- just one left, now. I just sold one.) [USER=25416]@dwhiz[/USER] has an awesome NGC F15 1921 with the perfect look. Perhaps he'll share that.[/QUOTE]
