Grade Revealed

illini420 · March 13, 2019 10:09AM

MS62 is my guess

BryceM · March 13, 2019 10:19AM

I really like the obverse & pristine cheek. Typical weak strike, clean surfaces, nice luster, unfortunate spots = MS64

BGERRISH · March 13, 2019 10:21AM

The spotting holds it to MS63

CommemKing · March 13, 2019 10:23AM

MS63

mapleman · March 13, 2019 10:25AM

64

1630Boston · March 13, 2019 10:27AM

MS 63 +

jedm · March 13, 2019 10:35AM

I'm thinking 64 because it looks as nice as a 65 Morgan.

CCGGG · March 13, 2019 10:38AM

63

jerseycat101 · March 13, 2019 10:42AM

63

ChrisH821 · March 13, 2019 11:14AM

I wouldn't argue about it being in a 64 holder.

ChrisH821 · March 13, 2019 11:21AM

Unable to edit, just freezes when I submit but wanted to add that I don't think I'd even ague if you said it was a 65, the strike is a bit weak though. I don't see the spots holding it back as much as people are saying here. I've seen ugly PD's in 4 and 5 holders.

johnny9434 · March 13, 2019 11:22AM

ms 63. I don't like the spots either, jmo

MFeld · March 13, 2019 11:41AM

I don’t like the reverse spots but my guess is MS64.

ParlousJoe · March 13, 2019 11:50AM

64

ricko · March 13, 2019 11:53AM

MS63... Cheers, RickO

ACop · March 13, 2019 12:03PM

64+

Wabbit2313 · March 13, 2019 12:07PM

Coin looks like a 66 in the images.

braddick · March 13, 2019 12:15PM

AU if the what appears to be rub truly is, otherwise MS65.

ConfusedOne · March 13, 2019 12:16PM

I was thinking MS64, but more I look at it it seems like a MS65.

jtlee321 · March 13, 2019 1:09PM

I agree with the others on the 64 grade. The spots don't agree with me, but that's just me.

VanHalen · March 13, 2019 1:19PM

MS63 unless the luster is better than what shows here.

Smudge · March 13, 2019 1:21PM

Obverse looks AU. Hope it is a weak strike then 63.

LindeDad · March 13, 2019 1:38PM

MS63 no +for this one.

cheezhed · March 13, 2019 1:40PM

64

BryceM · March 13, 2019 1:55PM

@smudge,

I'm curious. You might be right, but what about the obverse looks like wear to you?

MarkInDavis · March 13, 2019 2:22PM

I think 64. Don't like the black spots, but it seems to have very few marks.

gtstang · March 13, 2019 2:46PM

Nice smooth cheek with typical weak hair detail. The reverse looks solid but the spots are distracting.
My guess is ms64+

derryb · March 13, 2019 2:47PM

65

The hair looks flat and worn. Maybe the strike. I do not collect Peace Dollars and am often wrong, but around the ear it just looks flat.

That was my first thought, too. (And I didn't want you feeling lonely).

Thanks for your support, ha!

I see what everyone's seeing about the clean cheek and relatively clean fields. I also know the weakness in the hair is somewhat common on these. I just didn't like the spots and knocked the coin down for that and for the weakness (even though other graders don't always knock this issue down for weakness as I think they should).

Soldi · March 13, 2019 3:10PM

MS 62 market grading rules.

cointime · March 13, 2019 3:20PM

Well, I am going to be the odd man out. I see it is in a NGC holder, but my 1st thought was an AU64 so I'll say AU58 nice looking coin. For me the color on the neck, cheek, hair over the ear and above the tiara.

blitzdude · March 13, 2019 3:47PM

Looks 62ish to me, congrats!

oldabeintx · March 13, 2019 3:51PM

The surfaces look incredibly clean. Since we're guessing not buying I'll take the high end: 66.

LeeBone · March 13, 2019 4:26PM

Surfaces are clean.
Weak strike as expected.
Luster is good.
Spotting is a drawback.
Maybe 64 ?
I myself don't like it overall.
Sorry

64

BryceM · March 13, 2019 6:11PM

@Smudge

Ah. The central hair detail (and the feather detail near the top of the leg) on the 1921 is almost universally flat on these. The areas I inspect for wear are the neck truncation, Liberty’s brow, sometimes the chin line, and on the reverse the point of the eagle’s wing and the high texture points in the eagle’s rock.

Thanks. I know the strike on these is weak. This one looks very weak. Otherwise pretty clean coin.
