For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

The copperhead post was successful in getting more pics, so I thought I would post a pic of a Peace Dollar MS63, my grade. Feel free to post your silver dollar pics or any other US silver coin, too.

Sorry for the large pic, but I love how the detail of her hair pops.

I gotta get me some peace dollars.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

A strong strike, Ag, and a fine example of the Peace dollar. I don't remember seeing any nicer, at least for a long time.
I can remember quite distinctly when people use to spend these and Morgans occasionally in everyday commerce. I know I did many years ago when short the cash to buy some cigarettes. A fool thing to do ( cigarettes AND spending silver dollars) but there was little premium for them back then in the mid 1960's.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Thanks Fritzberg, but there are too many bag marks for it to grade higher. The way I took this pic, those marks do not show well, but they are there.

Occaisonally, I will see the pre 64 half dollar, but not silver dollars anymore. Besides in the 60's those coins were still spendable and not worth much more than their face. I keep back nickels as they are worth 6.7 cents currently. Most don't care, but soon enough nickel will be very worthwhile.

Thanks RossL

Check out the near proof like condition of that coin! The smokey haze of the fields makes the design pop almost like it was a proof coin.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Wow, whats the grade on that coin? With looking at the scan, I don't see any bag or roll marks, the detail is sharp (good dies), fields look clean and lots of luster. I would say MS65 maybe even a 66? Very nice.

The previous post that Morgan has an old green label. Have you thought about getting that resubmitted? IT might score 65.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Gee, those are all real nice, Ross. Does one's heart good to see quality stuff!

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

There is nothing really special about this Walker except for the
strange intense copper toning. It's straight out of a 90% bag.
I've never seen anything quite like it, so I thought I'd post it.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Here's one of mine:

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

The 1921 Morgan isn't certified. It is the best looking one out of a roll of BU '21 Morgans that I bought a few years ago. I bought that roll at a great price cause it was before the price of silver ran up.

I may send it in to PCGS some day.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Now you're talkin'! I've got an 1829, but nothing like that.

I've got a real weakness for those Reich designed coins, like the capped bust (Classic head) cents from 1808-1814.
It's just wonderful stuff.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Love these coins!

I have a few "better" coins than this - but I love decent toning and this is the family favorite of the Morgans we have.

Is that a 38D? If so, it is a sleeper that is gaining value quickly.

Here's an 1884 S I kinda like.

I need to get a better macro attachment though.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Here's an 1889 CC cartwheel I'm very fond of.
The family story is my Granny carried it back east
from Wyoming on a prairie schooner. She was
also born in 1889. She may have also been the
one who cleaned it, dad blangit.
Of course it could just be a story made up by her.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

I said it before and I will say it again, that is one beautiful coin. :tongue: Me drooling. Good thing its slabbed or I would cause damage. :haha:

Thanks for the pics everyone, keep them coming. That 1829 half dollar is great! :banana:

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

You can tell when you've got the numismatic bug - when you sit around and look at coin pics! (Or watch HSN, knowning you'd NEVER buy at those prices but just watch to see coins and hear stories about them. :haha: )

This has been a great thread to read and drool over - as The Great Ag said - good thing some of these are encapsulated or we'd be doing damage.

And some absolutely stunning coins here.

Real Jack - With the coins I have, I often wonder about their individual history - who might have held them, stuff like that. I don't have a single coin from anyone in my family cause none of them were ever into coins. How cool that you have one that was carried by a family member like that. Very nice.

I have a few that are encapsulated but not photographed - I have never tried to take pics of mine, not sure I have a camera that would do the job as well as these or I'd post a Top 100 Vam-8 I have in MS 65..........

But here's another toned one I like, an 1984-PL MS 64...........>

I bought this 1884CC at a coin show about 8 or 9 years ago.

best cleavage ever on a US silver dollar!

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

The Great Ag - Hey, this thread is gonna force me to see if my camera will take some pics of Morgans I have that I do not have pics of now.......like I have time to be messing with that!

And me too - its making me want to buy - you think we're addicted?????

*sigh*

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

WOW - I've never seen that one before - how did it slip by me? And no kidding - best clevage of any US president so far (or even is Hillary wins! :haha:)

You know, I should get one to go with my Marilyn Monroe "nude with nipples" silver round and slab! :rolleyes:

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

That's why I said ... best cleavage ever on a US silver dollar. In 1917, the public was outraged by some cleavage. In 1999, nobody even noticed. :tongue:

I have one of those type 1's around here somewhere. We may have to start a thread for silver quarters.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

RossL has some great looking stuff - I have a couple I'd love to show but no pictures, especially a 1880/79-CC Reverse 1878 MS 64, Overdate - "Toned" - but his is still more gorgeous!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I tend towards dollars, not quarters, so that 1917 Type 1 Standing Liberty quarter was something new for me - but man, I don't know if its the coin or your photography - but now you've got me wanting one of those too (and not for the exposed breast - that' just a running joke). Love the toning on that coin too! <o:p></o:p>

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Just picked up the Dolly Madison 2-coin set (because of your pic!!)....Its the Unc & the Proof!! $75.00 out the door! Best thing is the Unc. has a mintage of under 23,000!!!! :wink:

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Kewl !

If everyone at GIM buys one, the price will go to da moon! :D

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Do you mind telling us where??

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Are you guys sure on the mintage? My coin books show that these coins have the following mintages:

Proof = 224,495
Unc - 89,203

Could it be possible that the 23,000 mintage is for the two coin set?

65GT350

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

The 2006 North American Coins and Prices by KP books lists Dolley as 22948 in UNC and 158247 in Proof.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Here's a Peace in MS65. You don't see too many of these in 65 or higher because most Peace dollars are not well struck.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Ross - Gotta hand it to you - while I do not collect (yet) Peace Dollars, I have seen thousands and that one of the nicest I have ever seen......maybe the first I have seen where I thought, now thats a coin I might want!

You DO have a lot of gorgeous coins - thank you for sharing them and please do continue!

Cheers!

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Speaking of VAMS and Peace Dollars, I ran across this 1923S in my stash today. Check out the errant ray coming off of the right shoulder of the Eagle. I didn't run across a VAM # that matched. Kind of a cool error. Anyone seen it before?

Thanks

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Bump, because these coins need to come out of hiding again.

Great that everyone, thanks for all who participated.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Beautiful coins.

Thanks for sharing those pics with us numis fans.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

OK, now someone has to send instructions on how to wipe out a cache file. If they find these pics on my hard drive I'll be arrested for being a metalophile! :D

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

I have very little in the way of numismatic and nothing of note. I did dig this nice UC Kennedy half out of a roll. It's worth around $5.

Some really great pics of some fine American coins people. Thanks.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Nice coin. I have a couple of those Spanish 8 Reales coins in my collection but they have Asian chop Marks on them. Your coin is much nicer than mine because it is hard to find them without the chopmarks as so many of these coins spent time circulating in the orient.

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

This is a great thread ......I am a bullion guy but man.....I have to give it up for the numi's.... That is some GOOD LOOKING STUFF

May have to breakdown and get a few slabs


great stuff and thanks for whoever bumped this

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Look at Bill's coin, post #12, minted in 1829. I really don't know much about numi but could that be real? It looks like it was minted yesterday and put in a time capsule. Are there really coins that old and that perfect out there? What would that be worth?

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Hard to tell from the pic, bit it looks real. judging from the uniform color and complete absense of toning, it may have been lightly dipped. I think most collectors of old halves would rather have some toning.

Here is the thread with the half dollar pics:

Re: For the silverbugs - Silver dollar pic
 

Heh, one of the very few numismatic questions I can answer. That's not really an errant ray - it's a die clash, so you're actually seeing detail from the other side of the coin.
