Elbesaar Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Personally, I really like that Peace Dollar and I can imagine how difficult it must have been to locate one like that and the cost must have been somewhat prohibitive. I read ATS that most heavily toned Peace Dollars are more than likely A/C [ artifical color ]. I don't collect Peace Dollars [or Morgans for that matter ] but ... what causes this type of toning ? Did the coin lay against a burlap bag at the Mint ? Was the coin wrapped in a leather pouch ? I'd really like to know - what causes this type of toning ?

jom Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Those are gorgeous! I think I need something to wipe the drool from my keyboard! I had to refrain from the same thing except I was drooling on the coins. That IS why they use slabs for protection......right? EL: That particular toning, as I've been saying in other threads, is from a bag. It has to be. I sure looks like the color you get on many toned Morgans...like your typical 81-S. I'm not sure that is easily replicated. Is this wrong? Anyone? I'd like to know. jom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really like to know - what causes this type of toning ? Most rainbow toned Peace Dollars are likely artificial toned, making true rainbow toning exceptionally rare. This coin demonstrates toning similar to that found on bag toned Morgan Dollars; I agree with Jom, it is from a mint bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kryptonitecomics Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I seriously had to keep my collector hat under lock and key with that coin around as every fiber in my body was screaming keep it I have never seen a true rainbow Peace dollar like that in person and I have been to plenty of shows. The dealer I got it from did not want to sell it either and it wasn't even in his case. He overheard me asking another dealer about toners and he just wanted to show me the coin. I asked him if it was for sale and he told me I couldn't afford it....so I said how much and after I was able to swallow again I pulled out the cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I have never seen a true rainbow Peace dollar like that in person and I have been to plenty of shows. Like I said elsewhere that is exactly the case for me. Admittedly though I don't look for Peace or Morgan dollars all that much so your experience is greater. That color looks like it was pulled right off a Morgan...one sided and same pattern. Weird. Were there Peace dollars in any of the bags released by the mint in the 60s/70s? I had heard there were Seated Dollars....not sure about the Peace dollar though. jom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By any chance, would you happen to have any information on the Patriot Pedigree? Are there a few more of these out on the market or tucked away in collections? My search has been fruitless.

From what I can gather, GSA Peace Dollars are relatively scarce and any bags were likely opened and broken up to disperse them as single coins.

coinman_23885 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 That's my best guess as well. I am curious if there are any more like this. I have been researching the topic ATS, at cointalk, and a few other websites, and the number of true rainbow peace dollars is even rarer than I expected (I thought that a Google search would reveal at least 30 or so out of the millions and millions that were made). Most had some pleasant toning, but hardly what I would call true rainbow toning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonitecomics Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 They are rare as hens teeth as the old saying goes. I have seen a couple of high grade dolalrs with the speckled rainbow toning that are quite nice but nothing that looks like banded rainbow Morgan and nothing that looks 100% legit like this coin so you have an exceptional piece or Peace...for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
