Thoughts on this Peace Dollar?

Wondering on what this might grade if submitted.
I don’t know much about these, but I noticed the cheek, and obverse as a whole, seems remarkably free of contact marks.
I also know that the toning is NT.

Limiting factors I assume would be lack of flashy luster and the contact marks on the reverse. I just wonder how limiting....

    Looks like old album toning.
    It may have been lightly cleaned at one point and then toned over a little bit - hard to tell from the photos.
    The face and neck are remarkably free of bag marks.
    My overall first impression is MS-63 (assuming there is no cleaning).

    I’d guess approximately MS63, though I’m not at all convinced that it’s original.

    63 is about right but I believe the nasty not to be original. QC-Details is my guess. Congrats!

    The obv. is 65 but the rev. is 63 or 62 with alot on contact marks on the eagle, so I'll say MS 63 or maybe 64, on a good day.

    The toning looks like market acceptable re-tone to me.

    Nice looking coin, but the surfaces look "off" to me. Maybe it's just the light, but the coin looks pretty flat without any luster bands or reflections. I'd guess polished and toned. Possibly AU with secondary toning making it look nicer than it is..... I'd be very happy to be wrong.

    There is an echo around here. In the images, the coin looks "brushed." Its eye appeal is off the charts but the hairlines will limit its grade to 64 max. Someone will pay good money for this (if not original) raw.

    1. Hope it straight grades. Would look nice in an album.

    I would guess 63.... the chatter on the reverse limits the grade.... die crack on the neck is interesting...and two reeded edge contacts in the obverse fields limits the overall grade. Cheers, RickO

    MS 62-63, Obverse cleaned. Something is off about the luster on the Obverse.

    [Edit] - Natural Toning, but the weak color progression of toning post-cleaning.

    I'll go MS63, perhaps a 64. Very nice strike! And, yes the toning is natural (environmental).
