Its unique design, featuring 15 interlocking chain links representing the original states, adds to its appeal for collectors.

One could also argue it is a newer machine and so it may have some newer circuitry in the control box, but what real world difference that would make is questionable.

    As I recall, it is 24 coins to make a complete date and mint set. I need 4 more coins to complete my graded set, 24S, 27, 28, and 35S. It's been fun, and not expensive unless you are looking for higher grade coins, and then only in some date/mint combinations (which the video creator mentioned). Both Morgan's and Peace dollars were minted in 1921. The Peace dollars were minted in High Relief, but the relief was causing a lot of pressure and rapidly destroying the dies. In 1922 they went to the lower relief although a couple of high relief 1922 coins exist.
