DanFielding Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 08:09 am I think the dark splotch is a reflection of something. You can kind of see a dark spot in pretty much the same place on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Pmint1 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 4:10 pm I've always heard people say they are ugly. Personally I like them in ms or proof. To me it's a classic and simple design. Circulated they are ugly. Dull and gray and generally not sharply struck. So is lithe circulated Peace dollar imho. Report this Post to the Staff
