After lots of discouraging ebay searching, finding only overpriced, overly graded and typically problematical specimens, I finally landed this 1921 USA Peace dollar from my local bullion source that has all the characteristics I have been looking for: PMD-free; high grade circulated coin with nice toning. It was 100 bucks, but I have watched many more in worse condition sell on the 'bay for considerably more. Opinions as to grade/value always appreciated. Wishing everyone good luck in their hunts!

mysilveryears, I like the antiqued character of your 21 Peace!  It looks oxidized.

A really nice 21 dollar there. Having the patience to wait for the right coin has served you well.

this is the latest classic coin I have purchased. Its not a new purchase but the latest one. Ignore the eye lash in the Reverse picture, I didn't notice it until after I had already put the camera up

Quote: I didn't notice it until after I had already put the camera up   I hate that! I have like 10 pics of coins I didn't even bother putting up in the grading section because of stuff I noticed after the pic was taken and the camera was back in the closet!

Still waiting for this one. Should arrive around the middle of next week. I'm trying to assemble a type set of more significant coins. I could have bought a lot of type 2 SLQs, but this is a scarce one. My "without rays" Shield nickel is an 1880. Other early issues aren't low mintage but condition rarities like this SLQ. While over 6 million of these were minted, less than 5 percent were fully struck, and most of those are worn from heavy circulation. Chance

I bought this from a retired guy who called me to look at some coins. I gave him close to retail and he seemed quite pleased. He didn't know anything about what he had, so I spent some time to explain what he had and how to sell if needed. He kept all his silver but did part with this.
