    I hope it's just a poor picture, but the strike looks very weak for anything above a 64.

    certainly appears to have the lack of ticks to be a 68

    what the price tag on that puppy ?

    You guys are tough. The strike may not be over the top, but it's really good. The total dearth of marks, on the other hand, and the uniformity and quality of the luster, THOSE ARE over the top. Peace Dollars, or silver dollars in general just don't come like that.

    I was thinking the same thing, as clean as the surfaces are on that coin. Without seeing it in person, i'm guessing it must also have some incredible luster to warrant the 68 grade. Just a thought...

    I heard a rumor that was originally in a 64 holder? Is this a BS tale?

    That is a beautiful puppy indeed. It may be that the luster is so strong
    it overpowers the strike. I likes me da coin~!

    I held the 1925 MS-68 when UScoins owned it (Selling it for $50k 4-5 years ago) and I wasn't impressed either...
  • mumumumu Posts: 1,840
    Hair detail immidately jumps out as nothing special. But the rest of the coin is really a rare site to see so clean. Its a pretty coin but what if it had a hammered strike? Would it be a 69?
  • DennisHDennisH Posts: 14,011 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Uncommonly mark-free coin with a so-so strike. If the lustre is killer then I can squint and see 68. But I'd want to see it in person.
    When in doubt, don't.
  • metalmeistermetalmeister Posts: 4,596 ✭✭✭✭✭
    pretty damn mark free merits at least a 67 IMHO
    U all are right about the so so strike.
    Nice coinimage

    Lets blow this puppy up a bit! image

    Phils images do not sugarcoat any imperfections especially on white coins, but since I'm taking it to dinner plate size I increased the contrast and midtones a bit.

    A MS64 peace dollar may look nice on regular slab scale, yet if you super size the images the coin's pretty surfaces will totally fall apart.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
