<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1901761, member: 37839"]As one person put it, I should change my avatar to Peacedude, with my recent forray into the Peace Dollar venue (although this is nothing new to me, as I have always collected Peace Dollars). The one thing I will say about looking for type, or partial set, or even full set coins is that grade is obviously important. The desired grade is determined by budget. However, in getting these Peace Dollars (I won't go for the entire series, as I have owned the entire series before and sold it years ago), eye appeal is huge. In getting the two key dates, I was originally going to get very nice MS 61-62 coins for 1921 and 1928. However, try finding an extremely nice coin of those dates in that condition--all the ones I checked out were not that attractive. I ended up with both in AU-58 ( if you looked at the two, you'd swear they were MS 63) and am extremely happy with the AU 58 eye appeal. They are gorgeous coins, and I didn't spend a ton of money for a coin that wasn't attractive. For the common dates, I have chosen to go for ones with light tone in MS 65 or 65+, as that is a great value over MS 66 coins, and frequently has more eye appeal for the dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
