Peace 1925

OneCent

First BU Peace purchased today. Love this Design. This coin was sold to me as BU+, with which I agree.

The coin in hand has tremendous Frosty Cartwheel lustre that is difficult to capture in the photo. It does, however have a hit on the Eagles tail as well as some toning spots or milkspots on the reverse. Overall, I would say MS64 but don't know much about grading Peace Dollars. Are they known for weak strikes, as this piece doesn't seem to have a great one.

That's a nice strike. I picked this one up at a pawn shop , months ago:




I make no excuses for my lack of photography skills without a copy stand and just using AUTO with a flash is the best it gets for me.
Yours is nice. I hope you didn't OVERPAY for it.

Looks pretty lustrous. Looks BU to me too. I hate grading Peace dollars, one of the biggest reasons I go back 100% to Morgans.

I think you are right is your estimate of MS64

That is a great looking coin, I like it!

The strike is fairly strong for the issue. Check the hair in front of the ear. But I'm concerned about the many small obverse marks I see. But maybe it's just the image.

Choice 63-64 no problem from these pics, good score.
These 25-P are usually decent strikes though you will find some weaker ones.

I think MS64 is dead on and it looks very nice for the grade.That strike isn't at all bad.Looks like a nice pickup.

Hi again Onecent. Here is a picture of my 1925 peace dollar I had stashed in with my Ike hoard.

It is not nearly as nice as yours.

Those are some nice 25's, here is one that Musky gave me a few months ago.

I like them that way and this way.

Id give it a 64. It is a decent strike for the date. I love the look of a decently struck peace dollar with dripping luster.
