mike31093 Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 11:03 pm Part of my collection inheritance includes commemorative coins. I been looking through some of COMMEMS collection and found different documentation than seen in Commems write-up for this coin. My COA looks much different not in content but in the format. Mine, completely unfolded, measures 11x5.5", folded twice. BTW: The sets I've looked at thus far are showing fogging in the field area. Should I be concerned, what to do. Just stored in a cardboard box. I have no idea where Dad bought this coin. So just curious about this. Any thoughts or comments? Edited by mike31093 09/10/2023 11:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

What you've shown in your image is the standard material for the individual Proof version of the Capitol Silver Dollar. vs. the Architectural History Set. The coin was available individually in Uncirculated and Proof versions in addition to the History Set. Welcome to CCF and Happy Collecting! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

mike31093 Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 09/11/2023 8:45 pm Here are 2 pics from my collection. This silver proof dollar has some fogging on both sides but most obvious on the obverse where there is more field showing. The fogging isn't all that noticeable until you look at a close-up. Assumption is that Dad bought this from the Mint. I have all OGP and COA. I'm still struggling with my photography. This coin has a mirror-like finish. Camera is tripod mounted directly above the coin and was getting reflected in the coins surface. The experiment lives on... Commems has an excellent post discussing this coin, its history and its inception. WOW. Do you really have all those commemoratives? http://goccf.com/t/404078 Report this Post to the Staff

Current (PCGS) price is MS-69 $40, MS-70 $190. I think those might be DCAM values, though. Have no idea what restoration would cost.
