I feel your pain brother. I am on a Mac and have gotten used to clear sharp images that auto resize based on the browser. However that is not the case here...so image quality on these forums definitely has a cap!
i love that as well as it being struck like a moose
some nice pastel shades mixed in that honey glaze with blooming luster
yes your imaging captured both and is excellent
the reverse
low looking relief here but wow
that silver and honey toning is a great combination and luster is in full bloom again
the strike here doesn't excite me though
65 looks about right with being bumped for this luster that refuses to hide
great looking coin here...price looks fair and just
i told ya what i thought...where's my $100
what a sweet focus group you run
Not questioning the color at all- just curious

If you're asking if I think you got a great value for $100, I'm less certain.
Beautiful photo. I love how the texture on the cheek shows.
I think you did just fine. But $100 might be the top end until silver comes back to higher levels.

It's just a pretty coin to take pictures of.

<< <i>I found it very interesting that my 26d and your coin have what seems to be the same die scratch. Anybody have an answer for this?/

Very interesting

a stress point there
From an engineering point of view, there is something about the geometry of the steep truncation of the neck that causes increased die stress in this area. The corresponding surface of the reverse is relatively flat.

Already did, MS64

Excellent photography by the way!
Subtle pastel toning is very nice.
Common date and not quite gem with a few hits.
The luster and color make up for it

<< <i>That line across the lower neck is the single most common location for a die crack in the Peace series. It can be found on several different issues. In fact, it's easier to find a 23-D with this crack than without. If you look closely, the die break under "WE" is in a slightly different location. The OP's coin also has a die crack across the upper hair/tiara junction.

A great answer!

Doesn't mean that second buyer wouldn't be overpaying, as well.
Everyone is free to set prices that they like and make offers that they like. To me, it's a $40-ish coin. Maybe I wouldn't get it at that price but I wouldn't choose to offer any more. Now on the other hand, if I got an offer for $200, I'd grab at it with both hands.
Back to the original question, the OP asked how we liked it at $100. My answer -- I don't. MOO and to each their own. What am I, 291fifth here?
$100 for that particular coin. But, if the prevailing market supports selling the coin for more than
one spent, it's hard for me to say the buyer overpaid. Maybe it comes down to semantics.
<< <i>I generally agree with your assessment. I'm just not that into Peace dollars, and wouldn't have paid

Probably semantics -- I'll buy that!

Price guide, schimce guide. I just don't believe that particular toner Peace is worth anything special vs. any other typical MS63 or 64. Others are free to disagree and to use their wallets to prove it.

I could see a 65+ and it has a lovely look!

Well, now... there you go! If lakeshore was serious, it sounds like you did well for your hundred bucks after all, regardless of whether you actually sell it or not!
I guess there's much to be said for eye appeal.
