Marvelous!! I LOVE the lime-green toning!

[jerseycat10]

Thanks, the lime-green was a clincher. Trying to diversify the color of my collection, .

[RWB]

Unusually nice color. I like the die cracks, too!

Fantastic piece! Some of the best toning I have seen on a Peace $1. (thumbs u

It is a beautiful coin, very impressive toning. Reminds me of some that came into Pops store.

 

My grandparents ran a Chili Factory and Food Store in Greenville, TX many years ago. When I would go there to visit them as a kid (1950's and 60's) he would give me silver dollars that had come into the store in change. Many were AU-Unc 1922- 23 Peace Dollars and one real gem was a DMPL 1891-S Morgan. I saved these and they formed my initial interest in numismatics.

 

In his Den (office) he had a safe which had such goodies as $10 Indians. The safe passed to my parents, then to me. The $10 Indians were liquidated at his death in 1964 (where unknown) by my grandmother and parents hopefully not at face to a bank. He was not a coin collector but knew value when he saw it and these pieces ended up in his safe or as gifts to me.

Very nice colors on that Peace. I love it.

[TonerGuy]

Very nice.. any pics of the reverse.. which I will guess is blast white...

[zboyle04]

looks pretty sweet, now you need my unique 1922-d to add to your set

[coinman_23885]

This is probably my favorite piece of the Peace Dollars that you have posted. I admire your ability to continue to work on such a challenging set (I have given up on it for the moment because of lack of availability of rainbow toned Peace Dollars).

[jerseycat10]

Thanks all.

 

The reverse is ordinary blast white, hence the lack of a picture.

 

Lucky for me, i have a few dealers on the lookout...

Is that coin in an OGH?

Is that coin in an OGH?

 

Nope, it's in a newer blue holder, CAC approved.

[kryptonitecomics]

It looks very familiar...I believe I have seen it before but when I saw it I could have sworn it was in an OGH but I could be mistaken

I would much rather be the previous owner of the Heritage coin !!! ...

 

I am still in sticker shock over that.

 

 

[bochiman]

I really don't like peace dollars, but when they are toned like the OP's, I like it.

I have a few as well, and have sold 1 toned one in NGC 63 that I still kind of miss (but, a few years ago, as I was doing an online show and tell, someone pinged me asking me to sell...and was persistent so I finally gave in and sold since they collected peace dollars and loved them).

 

I really like the green on the OP coin.

[zboyle04]

this one is odd, what do you think about this one???

Zboyle, I trust that seller, but he is known for taking pics in sunlight. Its hard to properly evaluate the color in his pics - but I've never bought a coin from him that I doubted, or that didn't look better in hand.

[jerseycat10]

That's a strange looking Peace.

That's a strange looking Peace.

That's a strange looking Peace.

 

I agree and the grade is just as strange. I see no major distractions on the obverse yet the coin rests in an MS60 holder. No doubt it was silently net graded for the very very thick, very very dark, very very questionable toning that most certainly severely mutes the obverse luster.
