Sale Announced

     When the owner of the Las Vegas Horseshoe Casino died, he left a horde of 100,000 Morgan and Peace silver dollars.  The coins are certified in the top grades - MS64-66 - and are in special green labeled slabs.

     Ted Binion's Morgan dollars have been sold, but the Peace dollars are being sold individually by Goldline International, Inc.  Peace dollars, designed by Anthony DeFrancisci, were struck at all three mints between 1921 and 1935.  

     The reverse bears an eagle, with wings folded, looking at the sunrise.  The word "Peace" appears under the eagle.  The coins will cost $49 for the lowest grade, $120 for the middle, and $700 for MS66.  The coins can be seen on the web at www.BinionCollection.com.
