Dollars Appraisal

Assorted US Silver Dollars and Half-Dollars Collection

This collection consists of several United States silver coins, primarily silver dollars and at least one half-dollar, individually encapsulated in transparent Mylar or plastic flips, indicating they are being preserved for collecting or resale. The coins present include multiple Peace Dollars, identifiable by the left-facing profile of Liberty wearing a radiate crown, and at least two Morgan Dollars, recognized by the left-facing profile of Liberty with a cap adorned with wheat and cotton, and an observable Walking Liberty Half Dollar. One Peace Dollar is clearly dated '1922' and marked 'AU/BU', suggesting its grade. Another appears to be a '1942 AU' Walking Liberty Half Dollar, albeit this date is unusual for a Walking Liberty as the series ended in 1947, and the mint record indicates no 1942 half-dollar in AU/BU grade would be priced at $30 if it were a common issue. Several Peace and Morgan Dollars are marked with 'Silver Dollar' and a price of '$40 MPJ', whilst the Walking Liberty Half Dollar is marked '$30 MPJ', suggesting these are retail prices from a vendor named MPJ. The coins generally exhibit a silvery-gray patina, consistent with aged silver. Some coins show varying degrees of luster, while others display toning or slight surface abrasions consistent with their 'AU' (About Uncirculated) or 'BU' (Brilliant Uncirculated, though this is only definitively claimed for the 1922 coin) designations. The clarity of the images varies, but the overall presentation suggests a group of collectible silver coins, likely valued for their silver content and numismatic appeal. The transparent flips allow for visual inspection without direct handling, a common practice among collectors to prevent further wear or damage. The presence of both Peace and Morgan silver dollars, alongside the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, indicates a focus on classic US silver coinage from the early 20th century. The specific dates visible (1922, 1942) help in identifying the specific issues presented.
