  • CoinFacts plate coin with only 2 graded higher. The Peace dollar series is one we've seen investors transitioning into after the run up in Morgans. This is a stunning Peace (Pun intended) that would fit into any of the permeant collections.

  • If you want rarity & COLOR, this is the coin for you! With a mintage of only 1,150 in proof and 14,750 in business strikes, this is a type collectors dream. Our example (now in PCGS) was last sold at Heritage back in 2016 in NGC with the "Rev. Dr. James G. K. McClure Collection" pedigree for $10,575!

    We are wholesaling it for half that @ $5,800.

  • Our cabinets were bare for about 24hrs, but we are back up & operational after hurricane Idalia visited Sarasota. No damage to the shop and anyone who had orders with us experienced almost no disruption in service. Clearing cases actually gives us the chance to put some new things out too!

  • Every now and then we get more interesting bars that come in over the counter. This one a customer had been describing to me for over 3 months.....bringing in a few coins at a time, but never the bar....tempting me. I really wanted it to be rare & unusual (like some of the coins)......but no It's a little different, but no extra value for this brand.
