Hope you weren't thinking of anything else but a coin!!

It's a very dark Peace dollar but it has extremely clean surfaces.

Let's assume it's "ms65" grade, my question is "can a coin this dark get slabbed by PCGS as an ms65?".

and a lighter exposure of this same coin....

    I love it, but very sad to see that perfect index finger print.


    BTW, DoubleEagle59, this is a tough crowd.

    That's why I love this forum.

    I would say no... between the very dark surface and the fingerprint... my belief would be BB. Cheers, RickO

    She looks kinda lackluster AT-ish, seen dollars treated with Gun Bluing solution toned the same wayimage

    I'm pretty sure this coin is NT. I could be wrong, but in this case, I don't think so.

    Would a fingerprint warrant a designation of a BodyBag?

    I've seen plenty of fingerprinted coins in PCGS and NGC slabs, so no.

    I have a beautifully toned 1941 proof Lincoln graded PR64RB by PCGS with a fingerprint on the obverse.

    I dunno...PCGS might make up something about altered surfaces just to keep it out of their holders. Glad you like it though! image

    I like it. Peace Dollars with color are truly scarce! PCGS I don't think would 65 it if it did make it into a holder (I am not sure whether it's AT or NT). Especially wouldn't make 65 when you consider the fingerprint.

    If the coin looks like either photo it has zero chance of a 65. Its dark and ugly and has no luster. If it isn't bagged for AT it could be bagged as ED.

    depends on who the print belongs to image

    I have a Peace that is very close to that one on the rev only. Same colors as yours. I like it!

    I mean this with no sarcasm, but I would suggest to folks that think a coin with fingerprints will not grade, or not grade 65 and above.....
    you might want to get out more. As far as the image in the OP...... no comment at this time.image
