Peace Dollar Grading

Aspie_Rocco

I got a "roll" of "junk" peace dollars on eBay last year, when I opened it 5 were obviously cleaned 3 questionable. I ended up selling off anything with odd surfaces and I am left with this lot that seems to all have luster. Any grading guesses from the local experts? Any that would grade"genuine" ?
I'll go ahead and embarrass my inferior grading skills and estimate au 50-55. Educate me please.

Just a gut feel (no way can a good grade be arrived at from those pictures)... you are probably right in the guess.... could possibly be a low MS in there... but would not guarantee it... Cheers, RickO

There are several MS coins in there. Several are high AU... Post individual pics and I will give you my take.

A good store of silver value at the right price, I'm not sure what real market is on those, $20 each? Of course the story is different if you can get a super high grade.

Numbering the coins would have been helpful since there are multiple coins of the same date... none-the-less - the last 3 1923 coins are MS, and the last coin posted the 1924 is MS. The first 1925 coin might be MS as well but its hard to tell.

Thank you. I added numbers and realized half the coins didn't upload. No worries. I appreciate your time. Some of these are pretty dirty, would an acetone dip be in order? I have never tried this and am hesitant, but it's a low cost experiment if recommended?

AU/Unc mix, with most having spots or stains. You did buy a "junk" roll after all so we can't say the seller was over-estimating them. I would just sit on them as is. No dipping, no messing. Many buyers appreciate them in original condition and can deal with dipping them if needed. You might only make them look worse. I find it interesting that just for a few dollars more, you can probably buy choice BU rolls for $20-$22/coin. I'm still sitting on several rolls of them at $18/coin...and those were all put away by the previous owner in the early to mid-1970's at $3.50/coin.

I never looked for a BU roll of these. It would be neat to have though!
I was flipping silver a lot last year and got these for fun and the eBay bucks, it was well below $390 for the roll and I made $220 on the cleaned examples. I feel like I'm ahead with this majority remaining group costing around melt value or less after all is said and done.
They are neat for the old school factor but I'd rather have BU nickels

Looking at the added pictures, I think most are AU to MS62 at best.... A lot like this, I would just keep for silver stacking....Cheers, RickO

I never get tired of looking at Peace dollars. I think #s 5& 6 are nicest in my eyes. Just keep on stacking!

A couple of MS coins, certainly not worth grading though.

The last coin is certainly MS, a few others fall in the AU58/62 category as well.
I think three of them are MS (or would be graded so today).
I know that we both share a fondness for Jeffersons, but you have to admit that there is something substantial and impressive about a big ol' pile of silver---even if it's just a stank of "junk."
