# 21 Of My Silver Dollar Collection For Grading 1922 P Peace

Are you going to show all 250?

It sure is.

Thank you folks, I appreciate you letting me submit my collection. As I said in an earlier post, I started collecting silver dollars about 4 years ago, most won through ebay auctions. It's a long story and I already explained my doings in earlier posts, so I don't want to bore everyone again repeating what I already said. But I'm trying to learn, and I think I have, and am learning more through every silver dollar I submit. Already of my first 20 that you folks have commented on and graded, I've reassessed and regraded 5 already based on your comments. One I've decided to sell for sure, the others I will keep but change grades and assumed values in my Silver Dollar database. Thank you all!

Why are you asking me if it's ok? I just wanted to know if your going to post all 250 coins.

hfjacinto ....... I guess I took your question wrong, thought it was like ......... are you really going to show all 250 (emphasis on the really)?

I'm glad you're OK with it.

But while I'm replying to your comment, I'd like to ask. You said that you can get these for little over melt, $15 to $18. I've read other comments on my coins and other peoples coins from other folks with the same sort of comments .... you can buy these at melt or just a bit over. So as a regular type person that collects some silver dollars as I do, where exactly can you buy XF or AU 50 silver dollars near melt? I am not a coin dealer, nor am I a pawn shop. I imagine that they buy coins at those prices, but the average Joe like me? I'm not trying to be a smart Alec here, but I'd like to know.

As far as I do know, if I go to a dealer, an antique shop, or a pawn shop, they are all considerably at retail or above, and even haggling isn't going to get you melt or near melt. Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist or ebay ...... well that's what I do but unless you are buying somebody's lot of 5 or 10 or more coins, you're not getting them at melt or near melt, even worn out lots of 10 or more are averaging $20 or more a coin. And usually when you buy a lot like that, you will be hard pressed to get many nice coins. They usually bundle what you might think of as culls with one or two better coins to peak your interest. And single coins, even the most common dates you can rarely get for much less that melt + 50%. So again, not trying to be a wise guy, but surely would appreciate some education at buying more silver dollars for my collection and the bargain prices some folks here say they can be had for.

And one other thing I noticed. The picture you linked of the 1934 D is not a very common date, like a 1922 0r 23 or others might be, and the condition of this coin you linked is pretty darn nice. I'd be doing summer-salts if I could buy that near melt.

Ok I was confused, that's not my link. When you type in like a coin name ( Indian Head cent or Morgan dollar ) cff automatically creates a link to an information page.

Actually hfjacinto, I don't live on Kauai. I used to have a condo there ...... well actually just a 3 week a year timeshare condo, and that's where I picked up my KauaiHawaiiGuy handle. But I do live in the Northwest, Oregon to be more precise, and the only $17 to $20 silver dollars you're going to pick up around here are culls.

But if you've read some of my earlier posts you may have read that I buy these with funny money anyway. I sell whatever on ebay, and turn those PayPal funds into silver dollars ..... and I enjoy it. So if I've paid too much for some dollars, it isn't real money in my book anyway.

First I need to say, I do appreciate your tip about Redmond Rare Coins, but that's still 6 hours one way to Kirkland from the middle of the Willamette Valley in Oregon, (and that's assuming I hit a lucky patch where it doesn't take 3 hours between Olympia WA to Kirkland going through the madness of Tacoma and Seattle). Two months ago it took 3 1/2 hours to go 80 miles on I-5 through that.

And unless I happen to be there for some other reason, adding a night in a motel, gas for 700 miles, a couple of lunches, a dinner and breakfast for two and 14 hours on the road, suddenly the $25 bucks I'll save on a few common date silver dollars makes each coin $75 or $100 bucks.

I do appreciate the tip though, really, I mean that, but I think I would need to be buying some of their "rare" coins as their name implies, not common date Morgan and Peace dollars to make it pay.
