  • So that's what a 64 looks like ???

    My 63 Binion looks a lot better than that...

    i guess technically it could be a 64, but why would anyone choose that spotted nasty thing.

    eye appeal on that thing is zero unless you think dried snot is appealing.

  • An argument for dipping IMO.

    Are those spots common on Peace Dollars?

    A dealer once asked me if I noticed any three-legged buffalos on the bourse,to which I replied,"...no,but I saw alot of two-legged jackasses..."
  • From some reading, I see milky spots are kinda common on 23 Peace dollars, and it can't be dipped off for some reason. Don't know if NCS could do anything. That one looks like somebody danced on it...

    I've seen these spots on other dates besides the 23. Anyway that coin don't look 64 to me, Nasty.

    Anyone know if the white spots and sometimes I've seen them in the toning (which makes them a different color) has something to do with the way the planchets were prepared or something to that effect? Thanks

    I won a slabbed 23 MS 63 in a coin club raffle that looks tons better than that...same grading service too. Somebody's eyes must've been tired that day.

    stman the white spots you see on Peace dollars are commonly called waterspots. They are not tone that's why you can't dip them away. They are actually etched into the surface from where the planchet was dipped in sulfuric acid at the Mint and not rinsed and/or dried very well.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Hey thanks Dog, that was my hunch just needed it confirmed by an astute person (or Dog) that knew for sure.
