1923 Peace Dollar

[Gary Drumm-migration]

OK guys, give me your opinion on this 1923 Peace Dollar. I'm wondering if it's worth the money to have it graded and slabbed by NGC or PCGS.

 

 

 

Thanks for your comments and feedback in advance.

No I wouldn't slab it but would look nice in an album.

Yeah, I was kind of afraid of that. Why do you say not to slab it though? Just curious.

A 1923 Peace Dollar is very common (high mintage) and unless it would grade a MS-65 wouldn't be economical to do so. I see some hairlines on the portrait and it looks like it might have been cleaned in the past.

Hey Gary, I agree with Dean. Most of the time, unless a common date Peace or Morgan Dollar has been identified as a rare Vam variety, it doesn't make sense financially to have it third party certified. I personally don't do very well attributing varieties with pics...but if you know of anyone that specializes in the Peace series, they may be able to help you.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. I think I'll go froward with putting together my ASE collection and forget about the Peace dollars.

I agree with Dean as well. Maybe if it was a scarcer date/mintmark, it would be worth considering, but it looks like a decent 1923 to me. Save the money for the slab...use it toward another nice coin.

Welcome to the board.

Welcome to the board, Gary. Good advice has already been given.

I agree with the others - definitely not worth slabbing. In fact, I don't think even MS-65 is worth slabbing on these. There has to be many thousands of rolls of high grade coins still in existence.
