No idea how to grade Peace Dollars. What do you think? The scuffy lines you see are on the slab, not the coin.

    That looks MS65 to me all day long! A very strong MS65.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    If the scratches are on the slab, the grade is right there in front of you already, gosh! Don't you know anything? That's what the TPG's are for in the first place, to save us tremendous amounts of time from actually learning how to grade. Dang, keep up with the times man.

    From what I can see from the picture- looks 66. Pretty coin.

    Guess 65. It depends on the quality of the luster which probably looks much better in hand. I always thought that the Peace dollar had a far more attractive design compared to the Morgan dollar.

    Very Nice looks to be 66 or 65 thats a looker. image

    That's the cleanest cheek on a Peace Dollar I've seen in a long time and it's every bit as nice as the two MS66 Peace dollars that I've owned (Both NGC, 1922 and 1923). I think it would be a 66 at any TPG.

    i agree. the luster will really determine if it goes any higher... that
    and luster breaks we cannot see.

    to me it looks really nice. 65.

    nice coin Clad! 65. I'd like a little more obverse luster for 66.

    so what's the grade on the slab? more importantly, how do YOU grade it? curious to know what you think of the coin.

    Not just yet on the label. image

    I don't know enough about the series to accurately grade it. I don't own the coin either. I just saw it, was impressed by it and thought I'd see what you all had to say about it just for $hits and giggles. I can say the tiny black spots in the rays and the neck just under the chin and the hit in the rays near the E in LIBERTY kind of bug me. Think it's worth $165?
  • EdscoinEdscoin Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭
    Compared to some 65's I've seen it looks 66


    << <i>Think it's worth $165? >>

    I think so.

    I'll go 65 based on the pics. Appears to be a gem at the least, maybe a 6, if the grader is having a good day.

    Plus being a coin known for it's shallow strike, the strike appears strong.

    Nice piece, or should I say Peace.

    Clean, clean, clean. I'd say 65 with a bean. Excellent eye appeal.

  • BigMoneyLewisBigMoneyLewis Posts: 194 ✭
    Looks like whoever is selling it feels it is a 65 . That's what I would agree with also.
    The hit in the ray , the hit on the eagles wing, and the black spot , I feel , should keep it form going
    66 @ PCGS , but NGC will probably 6 it .
    Just my opinion.

  • BigMoneyLewisBigMoneyLewis Posts: 194 ✭
    Oh, and don't get me wrong , it is a VERY nice coin, and those flaws are very minor.
    She's a GEM based on what I see , super solid for the grade (65) .
    The contact marks that are there are not distracting at all .
    I can see how it "might" have a shot at 66 from PCGS ,(about a 15% chance) but I would not pay any more than 65 money .

  • TbarTbar Posts: 521

    I feel the coin is a 64/65.

    The hit on the eagles neck and wing tip will keep it down.

    '25 p is a coin with a typically strong strike which this coin seems to have. It will all come down to luster. If this coin has blazing luster its a 65 at pcgs. Anything short of blazing and its a 64.

    Not worth the asking price imo for a common date.
  • CladiatorCladiator Posts: 18,258 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The seller is asking $235 which I thought was pricey. The $165 price I mentioned earlier in the thread would be the end price after the live.com 30% rebate image

    Looks to have some scratches at 9 O'clock on the reverse field near the rim also. Obverse sure looks clean though.
