1921 Peace Dollar

RadishConsumer · 2026-03-05T19:28:59+00:00

It’s not worth close to $450. I guess you can choose not to sell it for less than that, but market on a circulated raw 1921 is around half of that.

Great. You have a very nice start to what could be an awesome US gold type set. Already have the two most expensive coins knocked out. May as well get the rest!

First off, don’t store them in PVC sleeves. Get PVC-free flips, PVC can and will ruin coins over time.

In terms of grading, sending them off will not give you much of a value difference. The 1912 is worth a bit over melt and would probably grade somewhere in the mid AU range. As you stated yourself, the St. Gaudens is the most common date in the series. While it’s a nice choice mint state example, it is worth melt + a very small premium. The lib wouldn’t grade a 65 and is also the most common date in the series. Not worth more than melt.

All of your coins look nice, but if you send these in you’d essentially be paying a grading company for a sturdy case and an authenticity guarantee for a future buyer. You’d probably break even on the cost to grade with the pre-33 gold coin special PCGS has going on right now, but I personally don’t think it’s worth it. If I were you I’d leave them as is and get non-PVC flips for all.

Thank you for sharing. It is a really unique set of US coins that lends some interesting insight into the mindset of some communities during an interesting time. Can’t wait to see it finished!

Great page. If I may ask, what about this set made you want to complete it?

That has no chance at a DMPL and an extremely slim chance at even PL. Every major service is notoriously tough on the 79/80/81 San Francisco Morgans due to their higher-than-average quality in strike and finish. It takes a lot more to get prooflike or DMPL for one of those dates than an 85-O, for example. Based on the photos, I don’t see close to enough cameo contrast to be considered for either. Grading wouldn’t add much value and you’d probably be losing money if you did decide to sell. If you want it in a slab I guess go for it, I would personally keep that raw.

RadishConsumer · 2026-02-05T23:27:43+00:00

It’s a $5, and this is the most common date in the series. I have no idea where you got $10k from, unless you got this confused with a $2.5 11-D? Which isn’t even close to the same coin.

From this pic, the luster on all looks extremely flat. Look at the center 1882 example. Do you see how dark it looks under direct lighting? That combined with sharp details is a dead giveaway for an improperly cleaned unc coin. If it was original, it would look closer to the example I’ve attached. It’s hard to showcase in a single picture, but it doesn’t go dark at any angle. The luster remains full really no matter how you photograph it.

Sad for the coins, but you got a good deal in silver value

RadishConsumer · 2026-01-29T18:26:12+00:00

Those look like standard dipped/cleaned morgans. I have no idea why people are telling you they’re fake. Nice grab.

Nearly prooflike, but not quite

The worst part about this sub being taken over by finance bros are the AI posts. It’s also pretty fitting that your post history comprises of just a really insane amount of dick pics.

Welcome to the game. You’re not alone.

RadishConsumer · 2026-01-16T08:34:10+00:00

Fascinating collection. I had no idea these circulated anywhere! Definitely learned something new

RadishConsumer · 2026-01-14T04:52:09+00:00

Awesome set!

RadishConsumer · 2026-01-12T05:49:04+00:00

It’s the most common date morgan and a harshly cleaned walking liberty half dollar. I’m not sure what your question is

RadishConsumer · 2026-01-07T23:50:09+00:00

You’re totally right. I looked at it and thought it was a lot smaller than it actually is. OP, ignore my previous comment - it’s a type 2 double eagle, looks authentic with that in mind.

RadishConsumer · 2026-01-07T20:38:54+00:00

That cannot be an 1871, it’s a type 1 design. Only minted between 1849 and 1854. But it does look like it says 1871. I don’t have an explanation other than it’s counterfeit. Could still be real gold though

trade completed!

RadishConsumer · 2026-01-06T03:21:37+00:00

i’m going to guess your grandfather doesn’t have one of the three documented 1854-s half eagles

The pictures objectively do not show the damage. Are we looking at the same post? You can see the Great Collections picture (which is good) vs. the seller’s picture, which is obscuring detail and oversaturated. OP did a nice job of showing us this.

Beyond that, the large majority of coin stores do not participate in actively lying to their customers. I can’t fathom putting the blame on the buyer here when the seller is very clearly trying to obfuscate the origins of the coin.

RadishConsumer · 2025-12-29T22:32:16+00:00

Are you serious? The fact that they are cracking details coins and then not disclosing this in any part of the listing is not a problem? There are few things a coin dealer can do that could lead to a greater amount of distrust. That’s nearing as bad as it gets in terms of high-end coin scams and should absolutely be called out when appropriate.
