The US Mint is reissuing full-silver dollar coins to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of Morgans and the beginning of the Peace dollar. It’s apparently been going for a couple of years now. Dunno why magicians would want crisp silver dollars, but somebody will have a reason.

Well, he never used Peace Dollars, but this guy was one of the only magi’s that always used crisp Morgan silver dollars. They worked very well with how he presented his unique coin magic. He started quite a storm years back now. Quite amazing to watch and I got a chance to see it right up close once, and man…WOW!!!

WOW, that guy is fantastic! Big shiny silver coins, and the black shirt really sets them off. I’m always thinking about the logical story to set up (time travel from old 1921 to new 2021 coins, etc), but you can’t beat pure fluid beautiful flourish like that. Thanks again, Mb.

Not at $91 a pop when you can get AU 1921's at less than half that.

It's goofy to me that the treasury would mint coins to be sold at non-face value. Doesn't seem like something a government entity should do. Just don't bother making them if that's the deal. If people just want the silver they can buy the silver.
But that's just how I feel about it, doesn't mean I'm right. I know feelings aren't facts, I just don't like the notion.

I agree, and I haven’t ever seen a rationale. I just ordered $20 in Kennedy halves from them, which cost me nearly $40. I assume banks get them at face value, but how?

The coin shop here also charges $1 each for junk halves that they put their sticker on. So apparently being a business card doubles the price.
I just pester my bank. For the fancy coins there's an antique store in the Valley that has everything I could dream of and cheaper rhan the coin stores. Antique stores are whete I got my World's Fair tokens too. One coin shop here hadn't even heard of English Pennies. Found those at the antique store too. And half pennies to match quarters size.
