Common date peace toner - should I submit?

OGDan

There haven't been enough threads lately about toned peace dollars so I thought I'd start another. What are your opinions on this one? Bought a while back for a little over melt. Should I submit it under economy service? AT or NT? I have my own opinions but I'll wait to share them as I'd like to hear what others have to say first.

The good news is that you didn't overpay

No offense, but I wouldn't. Maybe a bit too dark,If you ever want to sell? My 2cents!

I agree. The coin isn't that appealing to me personally so I would say no, others may disagree. I am not convinced that the toning is original or market acceptable either.

The coin looks AU. I really don't see much positive outcome for you if it is submitted.

I am happy I can understand TDNs humor





I would say AT as well

Exactly

Nobody is touching the NT vs. AT question....hmmmm. Maybe it doesn't matter if everyone thinks it's ugly? The coin is probably a little more attractive in hand than the picture shows, but not by much.

I see an edited post.

Not AT. Stored in a Kraft envelope. Could be bagged for ED.

But still worth $20.

That decision is up to you but you will probably not re-coupe your money if you do.

AU, not worth the slab. But I bet if you let it hang out in acetone for a night it would look nicer.

+1 but it looks NT

OGDan

I pretty much agree with everyone about not being worth the slab, although the challenge of getting a toned peace dollar in pcgs plastic for 18 bucks has me tempted. I'm not really in love with the coin but I thought it was interesting. If I'm going to buy silver bullion, it might as well look interesting right?

FWIW, these two "friends" were tagging along with the first one.





Edit to add: I soaked off the masking tape residue from the 2nd one above with acetone.

Have you a lot of disposable, piss away, income? If so, then go ahead. It makes no financial
sense on that dollar to double your cost by grading fees added in. Common date and not
worth the time, effort or expense to slab.

But, it is your dollar!

What's funny is I already did. It was part of an experiment to see what affect acetone has on toning. You can see the results - basically no affect.

Just to be clear, I'm not interested in making money with this coin and I don't have plans to submit, just wanted to start conversation and hear others thoughts. I'm not in the slightest a peace dollar guy but I am interested in honing my AT vs. NT skills and learning more about what is market acceptable and what other people find attractive/not.

If it's a grade you gotta git,
then you gotta submit.

Twinturbo

Only one I would submit is the 3rd one you posted that you removed masking tape from.
The first two lack colors...

You might have been better off leaving the masking tape on this one!

Hehe, well actually it was just some ugly glue residue left over from the masking tape. That coin is interesting as an "end roll" type coin but that's about it.

It really depends on the coin situation I guess. This coin had very similar toning to yours and some acetone brought out some glittery sparkling luster that was under some of the crud. But if the luster is not there, which may be the case in your coin since its possibly an AU coin as many have pointed out, then maybe theres nothing there for the acetone to bring out. I was just taking a guess.
