That is an amazing peace dollar. I can not argue with Worlds Finest as I have never seen anything even close. Congrats Bear!
Nice coin. Enjoy it to the max!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
<< <i>Is there no MS 66-68 * on these? >>
There are 6 1923 in MS66 with the Star Designation.
Bear that is one very nice Peace Dollar!!!!!!
<< <i>Oooo. nice. bet that cost a few jelly donuts. >>

I cant really say if this Peace Dollar
is the finest in the world, but it is
certainly the prettiest one I have seen
for sale, in my travels.

<< <i>There are 6 1923 in MS66 with the Star Designation. >>
Yes, but are any of them toned????
Great looking coin but I'm not sure it's the World's Finest -- Art's coin is spectacular, Toningintheblood has a 34-D that is amazing as well, it's hard to say which one is the World's Finest.

<< <i>Beauty! Anyone know if it has had any crossover attempts? >>
I doubt it would cross at the same grade. And with that color and a * I'd just leave it in the NGC holder.

I know, I've never seen a MS66* toned Peace $. I have 4 MS65* (all different dates) toned Peace $ in my set and would love to get a MS66* I keep looking, but haven't seen a single one. If there's a MS66* that might be the world's finest then.

yes,when the eye appeal is greater than the actual physical condition.
.... enter market grading.
you knew that i,m sure...

represent the pearlescent nature of the colors or the superb lustre on
both sides. The marks on the face are barely noticable. One must remember
that when you enlarge a picture, it always turns a small blemish into the Grand Canyon.
The coin is superior to the picture in many ways. One must really hold the coin in hand
to appreciate its strike, luster and toning.

I have never seen one either.
I just received a free grading certificate from NGC, I may submit my 22D for crossover with the stipulation to cross only if it will receive the Star Designation.
However you have to weigh the positives against the
negetives and make a personal decision as to the coin.
If one cant stand criticism about coins and a judgement,
then that person should not participate on a coin forum.

Peace dollars just don't come with colors like that one....That is a different type of condition rarity.
i have watched you lumbering around in your dark winter cave now for a couple of years , at a safe distance mind you !!
And I LIKE YOU ! Big ole' thick hide and all...................

<< <i>The coin looks beautiful, but I have a serious question about the 65 grade. I thought a mark on the cheek like what's apparent in the picture might take it out of the 65 category. Would this easily cross to PCGS as a "5"? >>
I think it is a solid 65. I'd like to see a pic showing the luster like bear described.

That peace dollar is completely gorgeous!!! Congrats on the very nice pickup!
Beautiful peace.
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
I wonder how many people are believing it's an AT coin.....

Looks fine to me, but the pic has been a bit tweeked. Actually it looks like Dansco toning I see on some Ike dollars. I'd like to see the reverse. It's hard to say for sure from the pics, but I suspect the coin is NT. I have 3 toned Peace $ with natural tight rainbow rims much like Bears so it isn't unheard of to see color like that, though its rare.

I've seen some Ike's like this, but never Morgans.
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
From what I have seen, Morgans and Peace Dollars tone (if at all) in very different ways. I wonder why that is.

The planchet wash as well as storage methods. Peace $ were not kept in canvas bags in vaults for 75 years, for the most part. You can have some Peace $ with rather vivid envelope toning though. If you get lucky, a Peace $ like the one Bear just bought will develope some nice rim tone in an album.
And if you're really lucky (as in lotto lucky) you can find a textile toned Peace $ or a bag toned crescent as well.
