Pedigrees – Why They’re ImportantWhen buying a dog, particularly a champion, one of the most important considerations is its pedigree.

PEACE DOLLARSFor all practical purposes, there were no Dollars struck from 1936-1970 (all 1964-D Peace Dollars were not distributed and all were ordered melted). Since 1971 (with the exception of 1982 and 1985), Dollars of some type have been struck annually by the U.S. Government. Most recently, of course, is initiation of the Presidential Dollar coin program in 2007. |
