GRADE REVEALED IN MY COMMENT TO THREAD
Working on a date set of Peace Dollars (10 coins) and just picked up my 6th coin, this 1934. Thought it might be fun to run a guess-the-grade, so feel free to participate if you wish and I'll post results in ~24 hours. Other thoughts and feedback is also welcome. Cheers. 
Nothing is as expensive as free money.

My first thought was 66 also

MS66 and silky smooth looking.
64+ - too many marks on the eagle for 65/66. Strike and luster provide uplift above 63/64.
66 all day long...
nice looking coin!

I agree with the 66 assessment ... That is a very nice Peace dollar. Cheers, RickO
MS67. A strong candidate for the finest known.

I will say 66+, very nice Peace!
65 = 66 surface + 64 luster. I agree 64+ is a possibility

I'm thinking 65. A nice one for sure!

I’ll go with 66.
Awesome Peace
It better be at least a 66!

I'm in the 67 camp. Looks very mark free.
Oh my. That IS a nice one!
PCGS is very tough on this series. Even with that, this one is very clean.
I’m thinking it wouldn’t be a stretch as a 66.
My guess though…. 65+

66 to 66+. Nice and satiny - the lack of frosty luster probably throws people off.
66.
What a beauty! Based on the pics, I can’t see it below 66. I’ll go with 66+

Very nice '34 Peace Dollar.
Hope it grades a 67 or better.

Kennedys are my quest...
I was going to say 66 but I think it might have been net graded to a 64+/65 based on the “x” mark on the neck
I'll say 65+

MS65+ or MS66. The luster is what sets a 65 vs 66 typically. Those marks aren't very distracting and to be honest very light.

vanilla 66 to me!

66?
Agreed.

First impression was 66.
UNC Details - suspiciously nice
66+ but I like it better than the spotted 67 in CoinFacts.
Seriously it is a beauty! At least a 65 but I lean more toward 66 or 66+
I also have this one and all P mints in UNC condition but none this nice I don’t think. I haven’t graded mine - assume they are mostly ~ 63ish. I like a few bag marks on my babies!!
Thanks for sharing - the anticipation is killing me don't leave us hangin!!
The peace dollar was always my favorite, especially the 21 and the high relief 22 (if you can find it) - also the proofs...
I 'm in the MS 66 camp. That one's nice!!
Agreed again 🙂

My concern is this line that looks like a shallow scratch on the reverse:
I don't know how that impacts grade.

I’m liking the coin a lot less, after seeing those highlighted areas.

Here’s an MS66 that recently sold on eBay, with more marks on the neck, so the obverse is acceptable for that grade. But as @ChrisH821 noted, there are scratches on the eagle. Could go 65 or 66.
My first thought was 66. Then I looked a little closer and saw some flaws that while not hidden in the TrueView seemed a bit downplayed. Now I am left wondering if the TrueView is a glamour shot or accurate representation of the coin. Only way to know would be to see the coin in person.
