numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11892 Posts	Posted 01/09/2026 8:36 pm $52. Recently, I purchased 138 Peace dollars for $52 each. I bought these on 12/18/25 when silver was about $67.20. When the Hunt Brothers tried to corner the silver market in January of 1980, silver hit a peak of $50.35. The current nominal price of silver has surpassed the Hunt Brothers peak, but if you were to adjust that price in early 1980 of $50.35, back then that sum had purchasing power equivalent to about $209 dollars today, so in inflation-adjusted real terms, we are still far away from the 1980 peak of silver 45 years ago. Posting one Peace dollar for grading each day alongside my daily Morgan dollar, with the hope that we all are able to help one another get better at grading Morgan and Peace dollars in the new year. Right now I think I have 143 coins in this queue for grading since I bought 138 and had 5 more lying around. 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."

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18668 Posts	Posted 01/10/2026 09:30 am i wish this one didn't have that gash on the neck. super luster. I'm not sure how that gash would be seen by a TPG. when something like that displaces metal, I think they look at location, depth and length of it to determine if they pass it or hit it with a 98 code. i think this one may pass. personally i'd grade it a 62. I dislike grading these and never collected them as they are more challenging to grade correctly and I was never really fond of the design. I know TPG's are little more stringent on marks on these than morgans. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3649 Posts	Posted 01/10/2026 09:55 am The obverse hits on the nose, upper cheek, hair, and especially the lower neck and the "TY" of LIBERTY, along with the reverse scratch on the eagle's wing are too deep and in obvious places. On a bourse floor, I'm afraid this one would be treated as MS-61, even if slabbed higher. It has a decent strike and nice luster, though. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36746 Posts	Posted 01/11/2026 3:51 pm I'm not seeing that many marks. MS-63. Looks like strike weakness in the LI TY. Report this Post to the Staff
