    I'd call it a Good-6, but I'm really tight on circulated Peace Dollars. image

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    High relief not withstanding, I would have a very hard time grading this coin F12 or even VG10 for that matter.

    Joe.

    Edit: to add the 10

    wow, im pretty shocked at this grade...i thought it was easily VG8/10 looks so flat and worn near with the rims melting into the rest of the coin.
  • JJMJJM Posts: 8,039 ✭✭✭✭✭
    guess they give it more forgivness for being high relief and taking the wear sooner ?...I like the coin

    After reviewing the grading books, I revise my best offer to G6.imageimage

    I agreed with the PCGS grade, but going over what some of you have written makes me ponder if this one is slightly overgraded.
