1922 Peace Dollar do you agree with the Grade

Kkathyl · January 9, 2018 6:07PM

I really believe this coin should grade higher then it is. What’s your take?

lcoopie · January 9, 2018 6:16PM

photos are not great, sorry

It's a little hard to tell from the photos as they're a bit out of focus. It's a fairly new slab, which means that at least two professional graders looked at it recently. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I tend to assume they saw it the right way. This is usually, but not always true.

The coin is well-struck and seems to have nice detail. At a glance, it looks pretty gemmy. There's a few abrasions scattered around. I'm guessing there's a wee little bit of hairlines somewhere, a little something funny with the surfaces (left reverse field), or something else that's keeping it out of gem territory. If you twirl it around under a light and get back a thousand little flashy sparkles, you've got enough surface "stuff" to keep it out of gem territory. That's not very sophisticated, but I hope it makes sense.

Random 1922 Peace Dollars from CoinFacts......

MS64

MS65

I would say that the 64 is correct.....look at Liberty's hair on the 65.......your coin doesn't have that detail from your pics.

blitzdude · January 9, 2018 6:22PM

It's at least a 64 in my non-expert opinion.. Certainly seen more than a few slabbed 65s that didn't look that nice.

Coin Finder · January 9, 2018 6:23PM

I would give it a plus but it wont change the value that much in 64. Nice coin, hard to tell the strike details from photo.

From my limited experience it is difficult to get a Peace Dollar into 65 holder. From that pic it looks like there's just a little too much going on in the field on obverse and reverse.

Manorcourtman · January 9, 2018 6:36PM

Can't tell, pics are not good!

gtstang · January 9, 2018 6:38PM

I really like it for the grade and would pay a premium for it.

Kkathyl · January 9, 2018 7:10PM

Thanks. I will work on pics just using cell. I think if it still 64 it has to be plus or on the positive side. Agree I have seen worse 65. Price doubles at each grade level.

You need better lighting imo

Kkathyl · January 9, 2018 7:26PM

@Icoopie you are correct I am in need of proper set up. Soon.

Paradisefound · January 9, 2018 7:40PM

Beautiful coin Kathy! MS64+; since it is more beautiful than most MS64

SurfinxHI · January 9, 2018 8:43PM

The 23 looks 64, maybe a plus.

Kkathyl · January 9, 2018 8:53PM

I agree it was a pleasant surprise pick up waiting to send it in with another Peace I happen to have grown to love.

Treashunt · January 10, 2018 7:18AM

too blurry to see.
as for the others, please take the coin out of the holder- pre-photos.

keets · January 10, 2018 7:34AM

Kat, that is a nice coin for sure albeit a common date. Bryce is a better judge than me, it's a series he knows well, but my experience tells me that a brilliant Peace Dollar really has to POP to grade MS65. PCGS is and always has been very conscience of luster and how it equates to strike, so my thought is that the strike is a bit weak in some areas.

Kkathyl · January 10, 2018 7:53AM

Here is Bertha out of holder

Kkathyl · January 10, 2018 8:04AM

And a ms 62-63 for good measure

ricko · January 10, 2018 8:17AM

Those look like nice Peace Dollars Kathy... and you take much better pictures than I do... Cheers, RickO

If you don't mind a little advice from a published photographer, get some natural sunlight. You don't have to go outside, by a window will help. If your phone has a flash function, try that as well. Mine does but the glare is too much to be usable, but each phone is different so it is worth experimenting. Hope that helps. Peace dollars are my favorite US series.

johnny9434 · January 10, 2018 8:42AM

thats still a nice coin for the grade. id say its right on ms 64, jmo

jerseycat101 · January 10, 2018 9:09AM

I'd say based on the poor pictures, that it's a PQ 64.

Kkathyl · January 10, 2018 9:17AM

Here is the original MS64 under 5 time magnification

Kkathyl · January 10, 2018 9:19AM

It’s hard doing natural light here in FL but perhaps later when it’s in the 70. Appreciate the advice @BillyKingsley you very kind too.

Jimnight · January 10, 2018 9:44AM

Can't tell from the photos.

ChrisH821 · January 10, 2018 10:04AM

The hit on the nose and the light scratch across the cheek and whatever is going on beneath the Y I think are what held it. All minor distractions. Someone correct me if I am wrong but no hairline scratches are permitted on a 65.

asheland · January 10, 2018 2:20PM

I'd say it's a very solid 64. They are very reasonable right now. Great catch!
