I'm still finding decent raw coins in the XF to BU range that haven't obviously been dipped/cleaned for some of the more common years/marks for my Morgan collection. 

Now that is what collector's, like me, like to hear.  Not saying a dip is all that bad but a nice original BU goes over good.

VF - Details (dipped, with that whitewashed appearance),

Just my personal opinion but it's getting harder to find 'nice' silver coins that haven't had a dip.  

I would hope they could do that one.  Beautiful and with class too.

I wonder what machine shop this was made in.  

When in doubt and need top quality American Eagles just pick up your phone and call Rosland Capital.  Ask for William Devane; he will fix you right up.

It is particularly salty when those that do buy Mint products... wait, put up with the glitches/crashes, and ultimately end up with sub-par/damaged coins. 

Absolutely 100% correct.  The Morgan - Peace Dollar is the perfect example of the US Mint's all hype and no show.  I half expected another States Quarters fiasco that would run for year after year.

The United States Mint - may it rest in peace.

Its going to be a fun father, son project.

Sounds like a great project; get the family involved.  

Way to go @Lem E  Great job.  

Nice pics.   

 Absolutely stunning.  A beautiful Proof coin.

Bill, there is shipping, insurance, cost of packaging, etc and the costs NGC stipulates.  If you're not beginning to collect Walkers I'd settle for either a flip or a small, cheap holder or an album where it will tone up.

and these new ones are almost as much as i paid for that.

The sellers, who purchased from the US Mint in droves, can set their on prices and there is nothing to convince them to do other wise.  The fact they are getting these prices today is astounding.  I bought two, 2021 P & 2021 CC:  The CC came back MS 70 and the P came back MS 69.  *

* Probably because the TPG felt sorry for me.  I wouldn't call it a 69 by any means.  A lot of coins should have been sent to melt.

I've never seen one like that

There are a fair amount of coin supply outfits that can provide nice, but inexpensive, means of displaying your coin.  It doesn't have to be expensive to be nice.  What ever you decide.  Just enjoy that find.

It’s that their details and surface textures don’t match what’s seen on genuine examples. 

And that is why I wait for someone like you to come along.  I cannot grade, nor evaluate, or tell a counterfeit from a brick if it fell on my head  I also 'assume' both are valuable and the two people posing prior to me appear to very much know what they are talking about..  Wasn't being a smart alex but I place a lot of faith in NGC & PCGS.   .  

Perhaps, if @Bill Wynn  would just like to display the coin for all to like, without seeming cheap, he could purchase one of thse for a whopping $9.95......................

Just the fact that neither coin is in a TPG slab (NGC or PCGS) and what's that neat device?

think they will go down in value over time? I

Yes.  The US Mint cannot seem to get it together on these.

if they are ms 70

Okay fuzzy; probably yes.  P @ MS 70 = $250.00  - D Mint = $675.00 @ MS 70  -  CC =  $295.00 @ Ms 70  -  S = $250.00 @ MS 70  -  O + $195.00 @ MS 70.  Nationally known deal with negotiable prices.  eBay probably a bit lower.

decide if I should have it graded.

Coinbuf, who knows what he's talking about, says  AU 53 and I have no reason to doubt him.  However, to grade or not to grade is entirely up to you.  It is, after all, your money.  Maybe you could purchase a book by Whitman or someone else.  What ever you decide I hope you come back saying you found others. 

For a 1945 in circulation that ones very nice.

It sure is. Ive been broken hearted more than once in this hobby. I spent a little more than I was allowed to once or twice. Also got a few coins she didnt know about. Thats why she got tore up when she seen it. She tries to check the mail now before me now but I got someone working for me on the inside. The boys check it and hide the packages for me before she gets home.   So Im not really lying to her. Im just not telling her. I made a promise to her Id never lie but I never promised Id volunteer info. If she dont ask I dont tell. 

Oh you sly devil you.

I dont go over my budget. 

Sometimes it is really hard to stay within the budget.  Some coins are just so beautiful it,s painful to pass them up.

Yep.  JP's doing well for himself lately.  Showing some nice Morgans today.  I like the Morgan dollar.

Yep!  I know that feeling.  Nice catch there JP.  Good looking coin.
