At least MS60.
Depends on what your goal is, need it for registry set, want to sell on an on-line platform or auction, then yes it is worthy of submission. Plan to hold it for 20 years then why spend the money, get an Air-Tite or Kointain for a couple of bucks and forget about the time and hassle of submitting.

Looks MS62/63 from photo. Nice luster, but MP around $80. Agree with coinbuf, if you are holding why spend the money.
At the risk of annoying our host, no.
Let us know what you decide to do.

Kennedys are my quest...
Make sure to check for hairlines. If it does and they are excessive it will be a no-grade details 92 (cleaned) - thats the biggest issue with raw peace dollars imo and experience. I finally learned how to see them after many years of sending hairlines in for grading ... a few will be okay but a lot will not grade. And of course - photos cannot show them!! Need to angle the coin under bright but indirect light with a 16x or similar loupe. They are razor thin cuts in the surface flow lines only viable at one exact angle of light / but technically it is damage to the coin.
And to the naysayers out there I disagree, if no hairlines it is worth grading and sure better than graded bullion ASEs that come in tubes of 20!
Keep us posted!
No.
62ish imho. Probably not worth cert fee unless it has sentimental value or you like having your collection in slabs.
Reverse is nice, great luster and fairly clean. But obverse distracting scuffs suggest perhaps MS61 or so. As others say, not really worth the slabbing.
Just like above keep it raw In less you need to put it in a holder for some reason.
Hoard the keys.
How would slabbing that be cost effective to sell it online? The cost of submission is close to the total value of the coin.
I never used the words "cost effective" I said that it is worthy if the op wants to sell it using an on-line venue that requires certified coins, and/or where being certified may bring about a faster sale. Granted with the wait times at the TPG's the speed thing may be moot right now.

You'd be better off melting it. Spending $40 to get $40 makes no sense. You'd be net zero. Scrapping it for silver would be net $19.
Not my series so I checked ebay, every PCGS/NGC certified MS63 sold recently (sold not ask) for over $100, many over $130 and up. Now maybe it would grade lower but I think from the photo MS63 is a very possible outcome, thus the $40 spent could eaisly yield a greater than $40 increase. Should it grade less then that might be closer to your scenario.

Idk. The consensus here was 60 to 62 which is what I'm going by.
I would not slab that Peace dollar.... JMO.... I would either keep it in a coin capsule (if of sentimental value) or sell it raw. Cheers, RickO
I am a little more optimistic than the others. I need to see better pictures, but I see a lot of luster and a probable 63.
Regardless, unless it is a 64 minimum, not worth grading.
I would keep it raw. Nice coin for an album set.
