Visited a new-to-me (sort of) local coin shop on Thurs. & they had Morgans & Peace "average circulated" raw for $23 each or $20 if you buy 10+. So I bought 25, some silver stacking, some hole fillers, a couple of VAMs. I think this 1923-S Peace makes AU details, cleaned, with a rim bruise; it does have a really cool obverse die crack that goes from the bust above the 1 in the date to the left through IN GOD in a big arc, and another "spike" die crack coming out of the top of her head left of R.

New photos just taken at an angle to show the surfaces a bit differently.   Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

AU53. Agree with details cleaned. Nice remaining luster.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Yeah, I was pretty pleased for $20 lol. These are better than "junk" in my opinion, even though they are not problem-free by any means.

Well, I guess for $20 it would be hard to get better. I'm getting 30 cull Morgans for $16.50 apiece, I'll see how they compare with yours.

I would not put the 1923-S at AU details. Too much wear on the high points. maybe XF.

EF-45, I'm not convinced that it has been cleaned.
