    Not to my liking. Close to ugly.

    Bad photos so hard to tell, but if photos are accurate, then this is not a coin you'd find in my blue boxes image

    Appears to be a scanned image, rather than a true photograph.

    These types of harshly illuminated images tend to depict toning as opaque, rather than how it would appear in more natural reflected light.

    Although the toning appears more like environmental damage in these scanned images, it may look somewhat better in person.

    That almost black spot ruins it for me, plus those ugly white prongs. image

    I rank toned coins on a 0-10 scale, 0 being ugly, 10 being perfect, 5 being neutral. I'd call that a "4". Very original, however. Autumnal. Looks like the brown turns reddish at 6 o'clock on the reverse and might pop a little in-hand.

    It's not my thing. The toning under the "A" in "AMERICA" and the "R" in "DOLLAR" is the kind of toning that I avoid on silver. It's beyound the point when any of the mint surface is left.

    Ugly, and unlikely to be improved by dipping. The 1922 has the highest mintage of any US silver dollar. This example is like tens of millions just like it...... worth a small premium over melt.

    If it was mine, I'd dippit . . .

    I agree with the consensus of opinion that this coin has ugly toning if the dealers picture is accurate. It was part of a two coin deal I made so I had no choice but to buy it in order to get another untoned coin that I wanted. I haven't received the coins yet so I can only hope it is not as ugly as the dealers pictures.

    Thanks for all the opinions.

    I think it looks better than I thought it would from the seller's pictures.
  • moosesrmoosesr Posts: 1,966 ✭✭✭
    Does the toning on the coin look somewhat less ugly in my pictures than the sellers?

    << <i>Does the toning on the coin look somewhat less ugly in my pictures than the sellers? >>




    No, it is still ugly and needs a good dip.

    Your photo of the reverse brings out a bit more color, but not enough to change my overall opinion of the coin.
    But if you like it, that's really all that matters.

    Ugly toning and a coin that is going to be a tough sell because of it.

    I was going to second this, but looks like Stuart did, so I'll 'third' this.

    291fifth makes a very valid point, also.
    I'll come up with something, eventually.

    The grade is MS65 in a NGC Stacks W 57th St Collection holder.

    Start looking for the "live one" who will pay 65 money for it.

    Nice pedigree but I don't like the toning. I otherwise agree with the MS 65 grade.

    Decent coin. I like the rainbow toning on the back, but the dark blotch is a killer.

    I love toned coins and hate to see them restored, but this one is a borderline candidate for NCS or PCGS restoration. Who knows, if restored, perhaps it could get a higher grade than 65 (or at least be a very appealing 65).

    Is a 1922 Peace Dollar ever going to be a "candidate for NCS or PCGS restoration"? It's an ultra-common coin.
