<< <i>Nice strong strike on that Peace and overall a nice look with few contacts.
MS64

i forgot to mention the obverse has no hits, the right field is luster breaks, but the thing has a semi PL look!
Beautiful, lustrous and well struck peace dollar
MS-65 easily.

<< <i>I was gong to say 64, arent there some contact marks behind the hair on the overse? >>
no those are luster breaks
<< <i>thanks guys, it was in a MS65 rattler, itll be going in for a regrade. >>
I have a good feeling it'll be staying as a 65.

i have very good luck getting 65s in 66 holders
IMO the contact mark in Miss Liberty's hair above her forehead, the light chatter between the "Y" in Liberty and "Trust" from 3:00-4:00 on the obverse, combined with the several contact marks to the left of the eagle's back may keep this coin in a 65 holder.
However, I would not care what numeric grade is on the holder, I absolutely love this coin as a well struck, highly lustrous, beautiful high-end MS-65 with lots of attractive eye appeal.

<< <i>I love 1925 Peace Dollars because of their generally high quality strike and strong mint luster, similar in high quality to the 1881-S Morgan Dollar issue. If it were me, I'd keep this coin in the MS-65 rattler rather than resubmitting it.

thank you for your opinion, much appreciated, but for the price im into it for it would be dumb not to resubmit

As the song goes, you need to know when to hold them or fold them. It's very unlikely that your coin would upgrade and spending another $50 on grading, s/h fees....in my book, it's not worth it. Looking at the scans, I feel it's a liberal graded 65, but what do I know, I stopped collecting this series years ago. If you feel that strong about your coin, why not try to get a "Green" (CAC) sticker, not sure if it's less expensive though.

I would say possibly whizzed except you said in 65 rattler
I would keep it in holder and send for regrade
on off chance it gets 64 or bagged, you would get compensated per PCGS guarantee
25' Phillys always come nice as they were in a sweet spot during production.
I would keep it in the original holder.

LOL its funny that you say that, i was hoping it was too, i actually bought a 1923-S and it was only in a 1923 holder
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>a 1923-s That grades 65 or higher is one rare coin >>
Indeed. I'm sure you mean 1925-S. An MS65 '25-S is probably worth 100 times as much as a 65 1925! It's a $20k coin.
I'm going to give you the same advice, Marauderrt10. Keep it in the rattler. It's likely worth more there than in a new PCGS holder.
It is a very nice 65, not 66. Nice strike on fresh dies. I'm sure you can get a green bean.
You'll likely spend all that money on shipping, insurance and grading for nothing. And if you crack it, you never know what might happen. That's a real crap shoot and this is a bad time to gamble on PCGS's grading generosity.
FWIW...sometimes lessons are best learned the hard way.

no i did indeed buy a 1923-S that was in a 1923 holder, it was in an MS64 rattler, the S was covered by toning, i doubt they will 5 it since the big price jump.
<< <i>thanks guys, it was in a MS65 rattler, itll be going in for a regrade. >>
I would NOT send it in. Keep it in the old rattler holder.
Just my opinion.
Btw nice looking coin that I would be proud to own.

You want to hijack your own thread and discuss what to do about a 1923-S that PCGS labeled a 1923? Pretty simple answer and I'm sure you know it.
Best of luck with the 1925! I hope we're wrong. Let us know.

Beautiful coin!
<< <i>Based on the images, it looks like a solid MS65 to me with an outside shot at an MS66. >>
<< <i>wow. Nice to see you back!
Yes, yes, yes! Welcome back Mark!

Hey Mark
It really is great to see you again.
I saw your name and double checked the date on this thread.
Welcome back old friend.
<< <i>Yeah, if that doesn't stay a 65, I'll eat my hat... >>
look like someones having hat for dinner
Just an opinion.
<< <i>Why not just enjoy the coin and coin collecting, rather than throwing money at it? You can probably find another equally nice Peace dollar for the amount you'd spend to have it stuck in a deadly piece of plastic. Then you'd have two really nice coins and the beginnings of a fine Peace dollar collection.
Just an opinion. >>
I do like it, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it, I'm a toned Morgan guy myself, mostly all of my collection consists of high end toned dollars
