1935 Peace dollar (grade posted)

SkyMan

Here's a 1935 Peace dollar I got several years ago. It was in a small white ANACS holder that I cracked it out of, and put it into my Dansco Peace dollar album. Feel free to guess the grade if you want. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

Sweet I would say Gem BU with a CAC sticker🤷🏼‍♀️ or 66 in this fancy smancy system, if you got it at 58 it's a steal I'm not a peace guy the high points on the tail feathers may be problematic if I was paying that though. 🤷🏼‍♀️ That's one heck of an album coin🤤

That's one coin if toning was 40% of grade and they graded this like diamonds I'd give it a 90/100. Love the toning and I'm color blind and don't usually go ga ga on that attribute 😜

64 is my thought

Although on second thought, looks like some rub, so maybe 58

Small white ANACS holders, by in large, were conservatively graded. I'll wag an ms64.

We had 50 orginialrolls of 23 peace dollars from a bankers bank vault thinking they were 64s and in t 90s came back 63 this one with toning is😜

Second thought AT I'll give you 50 times face🤣🤐 and if you broke a 66 out for an album your more foolish than me🤦🏻‍♀️ Did I say that out loud? I'm a better expert on the good, better, est scale🍺

ANACS, probably said 63, but I'd give it a 58.

Never seen many ms64s in the old anacs but I never was out for those so I wouldn't know.
Coin collecting like anything else. Know your limitation and get a professional on higher grades IMO. For bust coins Dick Osburn was the man on my album coins XF down.

Looks like a pretty 62.

I'll guess it was graded as a 64.

MS64? Love the subtle color.

62 luster doesn’t support anything higher

JimW

Agree with those suggesting 58. It is a great looking coin regardless of grade!

I'm in around MS62-63, but it doesn't really matter. It's a perfect coin for a nice album.

It looks 65 TO ME, so I have to subtract 2 points and call it a 63....................and that's how I grade Peace Dollars

Looks MS 63 from here. These are rather tough.

FWIW, the very first set I ever put together was the Peace dollar set, circa late 1980's early 1990's. They were all in rattlers, and mainly graded MS65 with a few MS64 for the tougher date/MM. I strongly suspect most of them would easily upgrade given today's standards. So, I'm familiar with grading Peace dollars. I sold the set circa 2000.

I still love Peace dollars, so a few years ago I decided to put together a Dansco set of them, in this case with more of a price limit per coin, as opposed to a grade per coin, that I was looking for.

This 1935 was graded MS61 in the small white ANACS holder. I didn't see any rub on the reverse whatsoever. I'm fairly certain there's no rub on the obverse, but that's a bit tougher, as there's an angle or two that if you tilt the coin it's difficult to tell, particularly with the toning. To me it sure looked like a higher grade. Given the value/cost of a MS61 it was a no brainer to buy to crack out and put in the Dansco.

I'd say 64 and a nice one at that. Congrats!

Great coin!!! Brings back memories!!

The first complete set I ever put together was the Peace Dollar set too...mid-1980's...all purchased raw and I leaned heavily on the Wayne Miller book...I was aiming for Choice UNC graded coins

When ANACS first came out with their grading service I sent them all in and got them back in the small white slabs...I've since sold them all but as I remember I got about half back in 61 and 62 and the other half in 63 and 64....I sold them about ten years ago...the only ones that had appreciated significantly in price were the key dates...

Light scratches plus gem like surfaces, limit the grade.

asheland

Nice one!

The 61 is a fair grade I might of thought 62 without in hand. The 2 long scratch on front held it. But very nice. Congrats
