Great photos and some nice peace bucks in that group!
Some terminal tarnish on a couple of those Peace dollars... Generally, not my type of coins though...Cheers, RickO
The 2nd coin is, in my opinion, terminal (with a touch of PVC). The 3rd coin was actually broken out of a straight-graded PCGS holder!
A coin can still grade with terminal tarnish.... The PVC you mention is on the Eagles leg? Cheers, RickO
Nice looking Peace dollar toners.

My definition of terminal tarnish is tarnish that has eaten into the surface of the coin, irreparably.
Yes, the PVC on the Eagles leg. Should probably acetone that sooner than later.
I cannot judge surface damage from the picture, however, according to tarnish standards as published here in the past, full black is terminal...meaning it does not change further. That piece looks full black. Cheers, RickO
Very nice!
I've had coins judged environmental damage conserve nicely, looks like fully original toning.
Nice group!

Why not give it a bath in acetone to try to prevent any further damage to it?
I have seen most refer to it simply as black - the point at which there will be no further color progression. That doesn't necessarily equate with damage. As you know, there are so called black beauties that have significant luster oddly.
Great coins. It seems just 10 years ago, toned Peace dollars were virtually unknown. These all look original to me though.

So without PVC, whitch coins do you think would get straight grades from PCGS if you submit again?
I think they're all worthy of straight grades except for #2 (environmental damage), maybe #5 (obverse is funky) and #10 (reverse scratch).
The cool thing about these is that they all cost $75 or less. Most, much less.
Nice photos- I really like #8, your 1922 D Peace. Appears to have a descent strike, and beautiful tone.
Thank you for the reply. I was talking with my collecting buddy the other day about the borderline between deep toning and envromental damage. He might get interested in looking at your images above. I like #4 #6 #7 #8 #11
No not really. There was just no interest in them. Ive been specializing in them for almost 20 years. Back then few wanted them and the dealers were dipping most of the toned ones. The demand was for bright shiny Peace $. I got some beautiful coins for 0 premium.
