You could have done better with your purchase. The coins you will probably receive will be the most common dates in low grade BU and the seller controls the date. The common date Peace dollars on ebay sell for $29/$30 in NGC or PCGS MS63 that you have a chance to view the coin. I also saw a lot of 4 1922 S NGC MS63 on ebay for under $24 each with free shipping. |

Post a pic when they arrive, and then we'll know either way for sure.

I estimated the value from price lists online and in books. For instance, the 2017 U.S. Coin Digest has a 1924 P Peace dollar priced at $35 for AU50, and an online list that I'm being blocked from mentioning prices it higher than that. It looks like I should have done more window shopping on ebay first. But I think I'm OK unless the price of silver drops more than a little, which I don't think is too likely. Edited by Pauldog

Weird to me that so many 1-oz silver rounds go for more than that on ebay, ones that don't seem artistic or even attractive. But collectors want what they want. I know what discontinued Gillette razors sell for, even ones made as recently as the 2000's. What's the value of similar grade generic year Morgans? |

I got the coins on Monday, and they were all 1922-25, and looked "BU" to me. Most were in flips, but two were carded. The most intriguing one might be this 1923 P labeled "Double Date." I don't see it, so maybe someone here can tell me what's going on with it, if anything.   |

There was more than one 1923, and at first I got excited, thinking I had seen a 1928.

That one is definitely a doubled date! Very easy to see.

Now that I take a closer look at the photo, I can see the marks on the digits. It's harder to see on the coin itself. Is that a VAM, and does it affect the value much? I'm inclined to leave it in the card, and thinking about selling it, since now I have multiple BU 1923's. |

Actually, the 1925 is probably the worst of the lot. (Most of them have lots of luster, which is hard for me to capture in a flash photo.) I don't know if the discoloration is just tarnish or some ill-advised "enhancing" substance.

Also, on some of the coins, the outer parts of some of the letters and digits around the rim look squished. Is this a minting error? It doesn't seem like wear. (You can tell there's a lot I don't know about coins...)
