I found a Super clean Peace dollar yesterday.

Sure seems undergraded to me... The luster is amazing.

    I agree at least based on your pics. Are you going to send it to CAC? Did you pay 63 money or higher?

    Very nice coin.

    I always have a tough time grading Peace Dollars for some reason, but I think the few scattered hits will keep this one at a 63.

    It was cheap, I'll say that much. The obverse is MS 65 clean for sure.
    The reverse eagle does have quite a few ticks hidden around the feathers and back. They jump out quite a bit more under a loupe.
    I assume that's why it's graded 63. I'm not going to bother with CAC - just appreciate it for the luster bomb that it is.

    A 63+ isn't out of the question but it does look a little ticky to be a 64. Strike and luster supports a higher celing though, nice coin.

    Scraps on the eagle limit the grade.

    Likely you're right, however the largest, dark one visible in the photo's is on the slab itself. It's in terrible shape, I need to take some plast-x to it.

    I like it at 63, maybe 64. The value spread between the two is minimal. No sense in trying for a bean or upgrade..... it was marginally worth putting in a slab to start with. All the same, this one looks frosty & lustrous.

    The mintage of 1922-P Peace dollars is the largest of any US silver dollar issue. Coins like this one can be found in BU rolls which sell for 3X melt or less.

    Very nice but doesn't it bother you a bit how such a coin can remain untoned for..........92 years. How and where does one store a coin so that it doesn't tone? If this befuddles you than it's an obvious dipped/cleaned coin. Just saying, of course but I've seen these, last, a 1927. A beautiful highly lustrous. no toning whatsoever and I asked the owner the same question and have no answer.

    It's a common date, with very little spread between 63 and 64. Not sure what the fuss is about.

    The obverse has an almost cameo appearance that sets it apart from the pack IMO..
    The hit on the eagle holds it back...
    I think it's a nice find.....,

    From my experience PCGS is real tough on Peace Dollars. I have a few in low MS grades that should be higher. What are going to do, though. Here are some examples.

    MS62?

    Cannot tell from the pictures, but you can get a 63 from just having one noticeably deep scratch. I see some stuff on the Eagle, but I am sure it is there somewhere.
