    Sorry, but even from those poor scans, it looks like blatant artificial toning.

    Do you mean that they deemed them AT?

    Can you blame them? While one of the three was deemed cleaned, I think you'd be better off dipping the other two and resubmitting them. That's just my two cents. image
  • yep and im 100% #2 is not for sure it was stored in a silk box for 30+ years the others were bought from dealers

    NGC just killed my submission of toned peace dollars and undergraded my gold

    Sorry to say... But based on the scans the coins themselves killed 80% of this submission.

    The MS62 $5 Lib looks nice based on the verification scan, yet would love to see real photo's to see why you feel it was under graded 2 whole points image

    i must have been cause i was positive the peace dollars would grade out as for the $5 gold i have seen many graded 64 or even 65 that i didnt think were as nice as this one so i was kinda bummed to only see a 62 but he at least they didnt say it was cleaned

    If you feel #4 is MS64 then you should feel fortunate because now you can get a gold bean on it and sell for big bucks!

    Have you seen these MS64-65 $5 Libs in hand at shows or online image

    There's a good amount of MS61-62 dipped out common date $5 gold that's PQ to a novice...

    Yet once you compare surface condition difference of a fully skinned lustrous MS64 in hand it's like day and night.

    The Peace dollars are so obviously AT, it’s not even a point for discussion. The picture of the 1907-D $5 gold is small, and you can’t totally pinpoint MS grades by grading point from pictures that are better than those.

    This 1907-D half eagle did get the MS-65 grade from NGC. You can compare your coin with it when you get it back.

    You are free to believe what you like, but if you continue to buy coins like this, you will continue to get grades that will disappoint you. Peace dollars with attractive, natural toning are very scarce. Pieces with the deep bright color that appears on some Morgan dollars (and on many of those pieces, it’s artificial) are virtually non-existent.

    We are trying to help you, but if you don’t want to listen then there is nothing anyone can do to help you. Learning to grade coins and spotting coins that have been processed is not easy. It takes years of learning and experience for most people. Some people never acquire those skills no matter how hard they try.

    It could have been the box itself too. AT is based on what is seen in the marketplace for that series, the TPG doesn't have a little camera in the box to verify.

    Have you asked NGC for an explanation? Have you posted this across the street?

    Why, and it's your money, would you get common grade Peace dollars graded, unless
    you expected a 65+ or better? Save your fees for better coins. Good luck and I too
    had huge problems understanding dipping when I started looking at coins for grading.

    You're missing the point in the whole AT vs NT debate. It is really a MA vs NMA and the TPG's have decided that Peace dollars with color are not really welcome in their plastic making just about all of them AT or NMA. Just because a couple of people trade in the few dozen or so examples that were slabbed before the TPGs locked down on the practice doesn't mean it is a real phenomenon or a mainstream accepted niche, most of the ones that bring big money would never make i back into plastic if cracked. As long as you collect these just be prepared to not have a mature two-way market for resale and never being able to get them slabbed, if you can live with those conditions then have fun but don't whine when they bite you.

    1) The peace dollar is over 30+ years old, and I doubt you have a minute by minute accountability. Artificial toning wasn't invented just a few years ago.
    2) Think of it as "questionable" toning. They don't feel comfortable trusting/supporting that toning as being natural.
    3) If you have paid attention at all, you should understand that grading is not a science and that there are definitions that are still being fought over.
    4) You are on the NGC boards as well....have you brought this up over there yet? You have other threads you have posted in the last day or two, but I don't see one about the peace dollars. This is the wrong board to ask.
    5) While I don't think you will listen to this, it is somewhat obvious from your posts that you have a lot of learning to do.....about the coins, about toning, about the market, and about grading. Nothing wrong with that, but it also appears you aren't doing background work to learn AHEAD of time.....you are asking the questions AFTER the fact. Go back 6-8 years and read the threads...many still have pictures. There has been a lot of knowledge given in this forum that is still there for those willing to take the time to look. Stop spending the time promoting carr's copies and read older threads on toning, on grading, on coin series, etc.

    I can't wait until the TPGs start to divide toned coin grading. They grade the coin as if it was white or untoned and grade the color as natural details or AT with natural details.

    The Peace dollars seemed to have no chance. Based upon the photos, the gold seems right on at 62. The luster in the obverse fields seems completely broken up.

    My only surprise about clicking through was the value. According to NGC, the gold has a value of $568.75? What a strangely accurate esimate. Not $568.70, not 568.80, but exactly $568.75. Seems strange to me. I have never looked at their price guides. Are they all like that?

    And coming from me thats huge.
    Theyre blatant AT, they never had a chance. Dip em and place them in a album in 10 years theyll look very nice.

    The quote from David Hall was that he believed that no RAINBOW toned Peace dollars are naturally toned, NOT that they wouldn't grade them.

    Like I said before, it comes down to MA vs. not-MA.

    -Paul

    Edited: thanks to Mark Feld who found the quote from DH:

    << <i>

    Here's a little controversy...do naturally rainbow toned Peace dollars exist...I don't think so. Here's what I said on PCGS CoinFacts...

    Note that I am of the very strong opinion that any 1921 Peace dollar...indeed any Peace dollar...that has any rainbow colors (blue, red, green, etc) is absolutely artificially toned. While not very scientific, my approach to toning on coins is to remember the colors I saw in the 1960's and 1970's and if a new look appears, it's artificial to me. This is kind of an "old school" approach and I may be wrong, but unless you believe global warming has created new colors for coins, it just seems illogical to me that new colors would suddenly appear naturally on coins.

    So...I never saw a single Rainbow toned Peace dollar in the 1960s or 1970s, but of course I saw thousands of rainbow Morgans. Perhaps the silver was a little different, or handled a little different. You certainly don't see the white spots on Morgans that you see on 1922 and 1923 Peace dollars. Anyway...that's what I think.

  • Every single one of the Peace Dollars looks blatantly AT to me. Are you honestly surprised that they did not grade? If so, I would recommend that you not purchase raw toned coins.
