WhiteTornado Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 John, I really like that William Penn medal. I love the medals that have those scenes on the back, almost looks 3-D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpm9ball Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 James, it is absolutely gorgeous! It looks better in hand than in your photo. (This isn't intended to demean your photographic ability.) But, I think you have underestimated the depth of the mirrors. Maybe it was due to the slab. I'm tempted to crack it out because it doesn't deserve to be confined. If I do, I'll be sure to post some reflective pictures. I have always appreciated your candor and honesty, and that is why I like doing business with you. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it is now your recent acquisition, I look forward to seeing your version of the coin imaged here now. I'm am glad the coin has found a new and caring home! For those who don't know, Chris was kind enough to buy this coin from me, and I had commented about how I wasn't so sure it was DMPL by today's standards. However, I also thought it was undergraded by a point, leading me to believe that ANACS compromised on a grade of MS-63 DMPL. The previous owner of the coin dated all his slabs, so we know for a fact that this one was slabbed sometime in early 1991 or before, and I for one believe ANACS was more conservative at that time than any service is today. Chris, thanks again for the transaction!! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteTornado Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Is there a "Complete Guide to Peace Dollars?" Here are some I've heard about either through this board or across the street. I haven't yet acquired or even seen any of them, but the first one is supposedly the best reference book. It also, unfortunately, is the most expensive. The last time I looked it was about $70 or more. 1) Comprehensive Catalog And Encyclopedia Of Morgan and Peace Dollars, Fourth Edition by Leroy C. Van Allen & A. George Mallis 2) The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook, by Wayne Miller 3) The Comprehensive U.S. Silver Dollar Encyclopedia, by John W.

WhiteTornado Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I also forgot to add, that the initials of the authors' last names - Van Allen and Mallis - is where we get the VAM designation on Morgan varieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Cracked out of an ICG AU53 Holder. Top Image >>>This is what my camera sees with Low Light. Nothing but cropped and sized. Bottom image with Medium Light is exactly what it looks like in hand except the underlying booming luster does not show in this image. Has a bronzy golden glow overall.Comments are welcome of course.

Stanley Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I'm a crackhead Seriously, I couldn’t get the image close in the ICG Holder and I did want it in an album, have replaced it with another and now I don’t know. Does that make any cents? Edited to add: It looked white inside the holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
