I scored 3 high relief Peace dollars for "cheap" on ebay this year. I bought one in the spring for 12.99, one about 6 weeks ago for 17.50, and here's the latest one. That scruffy looking 1883 is a CC minted coin. I could pick that up in photoshop, and I asked about the mint marks on the other 2 morgans. http://cgi.ebay.com/5-SILVER-DOLLAR...22_W0QQitemZ370312987958QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item56385fc536 Chancellor Sutler Edited by Chancellor Sutler

It was a buy it now. Looking at that 1884....and taking the light digit "4" into account...that may be an 84-S. Here's the 83CC reverse. You have to look close, but it's there. Chancellor Sutler  |

There are a lot of folks who think that there's only junk on ebay, that every lot has been picked over by collectors, that every seller is a collector, and I like to point out to folks that there is nothing set in stone. You just can't approach ebay with all of the negativity that I see. I think folks probably throw all of that out there to discourage people from even looking there. I will say that you have to know at least a bit about what you're doing, and sometimes you'll make a bad decision....but I've done well the past year all things considered. Chancellor Sutler |

wow I don't think I have ever seen a 83-CC worn that much. Most of the 830cc's I have seen were BU because they spent most of their life in the vault. I hope you don't think this coin will be the most expensive coin in this lot because even in high MS states a 1883-CC is considered one of the cheapest coins from the CC mint

No, the 83CC is probably a 40 dollar coin in that condition, but the 21 Peace dollar is probably in EF-40, and that may very well be an 1884-S, judging by the weak "4" in the date. Collectively, I'll do well with this lot. Chancellor Sutler Edited by Chancellor Sutler

For that price you can't go wrong. It's a $200 lot.  The '21 Peace is very unusual in that the obverse looks close to EF with the reverse being 20-30 points lower?  Please post some better images of the 1921 after you get it. Congrats! |

I've nt gotten an answer from the seller as to mint marks, but if that 84 is and S and it's very possible that it is...especially given 2 other desirable issues being in this lot, then it will eclipse 200.00. I bougth a lot of "6 E Pluribus Unum Coins" back in august....for 89.99 sold off the 1884-S from that lot for 110.00 and kept the other 5, one of which was an 1878 8TF variety. The others were commons, but in EF-AU every one.
I'll post pics as soon as these get here.
