My wife works at Tim Hortons' in Ashaway, RI. She knows that I love to collect older coins and foreign ones as well. She came home last night and gave me a nice present....a 1922 Peace dollar! I asked how the heck she got it and I was floored when she told me. She said that a customer came in and asked her if she could use it seeing it was a dollar. My wife, Jenny, said I'll give you a dollar for it. And to think, now its' in my possession. Anywho, I'll post pics of it tomorrow and was hoping you guys could grade it and let me know what its' worth. Thanks! Edited by Pokermike4283

it's worth the silver value even in poor condition...that's about $12 or so I think. It could be worth more depending on condition.  |

And some proofs do find their way into circulation!

If the average collector found a matte proof in circulation, would they be able to easily recognize it as such? I understand the early Lincoln proofs can be very difficult to distinguish from business strikes.

I am seeing a lot of Lincolns from the 60's and 70's lately. I just think it is a reflection of the economy. More and more people are turning in their collection of spare change that has been lying around for years. Keep your eyes open, never know when something will fall into your lap.

I found a 1940's Mercury dime in my tip change from work. I assumed that such was the case that some customer found some old stored up change and used it. I don't know how else that would happen. You know that Mercury dime wasn't circulating around for 60 years just waiting to be picked up. Also, I just bought myself a 1922 Peace in AU condition. It has to be one of my favorite coins. |
