I Took One Look At This Coin And Was SOLD! ..

It's a goal of mine this year (One of many .. hehe) to start building my collection of silver Peace Dollars. I just added another, bring the total to 3. Don't laugh.. We have to start somewhere and I never really did give it much thought to collect these awesome coins. I really should have started a while ago, but I was working on stacking other items and not Peace Dollars.

But Why?!

They are in fact awesome. The design is simple yet powerful. I really adore the way Lady Liberty's profile was designed, from her flowing, wispy hair right down to her impressive crown. She also has a very solid yet feminine facial features.

I found her in a coin shop.. and it was listed as BU (Brilliant Uncirculated). Given the fact that it is uncertified, I have no clue whether or not it was "Uncirculated". It is brilliant though! lol. Both sides of the coin are in terrific shape with only minor nicks and scratches.. what you would expect from a coin being tossed around in a bag of other coins.

The silver coin is a 1923, Philadelphia minted gem. She contains .77344 troy oz of silver (90% or .900) and also contains 10% copper (.100). The Philadelphia mint struck 30,800,000 of these suckers. That's a decent amount of coinage. So if you are in the market for one, you should be able to easily find a coin for your stack.

On the other side of the coin.. Is the almighty Eagle! It is depicted perched on a mountain top clutching an olive branch. I also think those rays shining up, as if the sun is rising, makes for a cool look.

Again, like the obverse, the reverse of the coin is in terrific shape. I nick there, a scratch or two here, and a little dent there. Not too shabby and it should help build value as the years go by. I like to have a few uncirculated or almost uncirculated coins in the stack. Seeing all of those details as they were meant to be seen, is a cool thing.

I only have three, but three is more than two and four is in view! If you stack then you know what I mean.

Thank you for swinging by my blog and checking out the post. Have a great day!
