Yet another '21 Peace for review

scotty1418

I've seen the collectors here grade very stringently (which I like), so I thought I'd post another Peace for your review.

RyGuy

AU50.

Edited to add -

Its a definite AU, here are some PCGS XF40 examples:





Look at the detail you have in your eagle's wing compared to these.

Sorry, no way I could go AU on that one.

EF at best and possible cleaned.

Cleaned, or harshly dipped out.

Updated my first post, check it out.

XF-45 or AU-50. Dipped, but not enough to get a no-grade. PCGS holders dipped coins as long as there there are no significant hairlines -- there appears to be some re-toning on this one which should help as well.

I was thinking XF45 with a possible cleaning.

Thank you for the opinions.

I also compared this with several PCGS/ANACS coins before posting and felt rather strongly it would hit '50 but not '55.

As RyGuy pointed out, both have graded coins with no feather features as 40 and 45 with more wear to the hairline.

Also, there is fair luster around the rims and in the bun/high points of the hair. Likewise there are the faint remains on the reverse in the wording.

I'd agree that this coin is definitely absent most of the luster one would find in an AU coin, but (in my opinion) the detail present would correlate to the '50 grade TPG's offer for the '21.

Here's a ANACS 50 (notice the greater wear on the main hairline and greater wear down the middle of the breast on reverse) ....although this might bring the question of how luster affects grade into the debate.

It has been cleaned up a bit but it definatley has AU details.

IMHO - neither coin is AU. The original one has been scrubbed; the second one is poorly struck and worth much less than a nice EF with honest wear.

[Look in the Guide Book of Peace Dollars (Whitman Pub, 2008) for more information on striking differences in 1921.]

Sorry, I grade EF40 for scratches
