No,
For an impaired strike? hmmm
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

I might, if I saw it in-hand first. The fingerprint over the date is a potential turnoff. I bet it has dreamy-thick frost & stupendous luster.
No.
I bet there aren’t five people who frequent this forum who would pay that for ANY Peace dollar.
You would lose that bet, and in a hurry.
I'll take a Zerbe Peace for $11,000 please PM me for my address
Look at that cheek! Worth 10K alone. A near perfect Peace dollar is a joy to behold.
If that's a regular business strike, in some ultra-graded plastic, then the answer is NO.

No as I saw the fingerprint way before I saw the coin.
Even if in an older holder every time I glanced at it would be reminded it was once handled by a dip$#!+
Nope !!!

A common date with a fingerprint. Is there something else about it that a specialist would love?
Can't get by the huge fingerprint.

These were for commerce. That gentle soul's fingerprint could just have been a Mint worker in 1923.
No, unless they get into a 67+/68 holder ( currently none)
hopefully that print is not as prominent in hand
a white print means dipped to me
I'm good with this one for much less than a thousand!
Well, you’re probably right, especially when you throw in dealers. My point is that the pool of buyers for 5-figure condition rarity Peace dollars isn’t terribly huge. If you ask the question on an open forum, 99% of the respondents can automatically answer no without even looking at the photo. Certainly there are loads of people here who could buy it if they were inclined to, but that’s a different question. Is it worth $11k? is also a different question.
BTW @hickoryridge, that’s a nice coin!
There's no way in hell I'd pay $11K for a fingerprint.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
That's Elvis's thumbprint !
No.
Too much chatter in the fields (and on the cheek) for a 67.
Not to mention the fingerprint.
No
Latin American Collection
No, I would not... It is impaired with the fingerprint, and even if it was not, it is just a 'nice' Peace dollar. I do not know if anyone did pay that price... I certainly hope not. Cheers, RickO
But what if it stickered GOLD?
No way!
I'd be content with the example posted by @hickoryridge . (Which I find a whole lot more original)
But I don't play the registry gane anymore

No, that's the difference between raw and certified, a huge dollar sign. How many dealers scrutinize Peace dollars for potential bonanzas?
How about $7500 for this one that sold last night at Legend?

No.
Does a finger print affect the technical grade of a MS 66 + coin?
If you have any nice toned dollars to sell, Legend is certainly the way to go. I am always amazed at the auction results from those folks.
No, but it certainly affects the market value.
One
No! regardless of the grade.
Not a chance in hell! Its got a finger print to boot!
Even this ultra-high grade Peace dollar has mushy letters on the reverse. Great design but not suitable for mass production.
The $1k coin in MS66+/CAC seems like a much better value.
Then of course the fingerprint wouldn't be visible to the lemmings.

I like it...fingerprint and all........bubble cheek.....great strike......ETC.
But I don't like it THAT much (pricewise)

At $11k that fingerprint does matter.
So far as I'm concerned there is not a 1923-P on the planet that is worth that much, but I'm not a Peace Dollar fan.
Nice coin and a solid MS-66/maybe 67 in person. If someone wants to pay $11,000 for it, that's up to them.
11K is chump change for those seeking high quality and eye popping appeal Peace coins.
There's a funny thing about Peace dollars and originality. In every series there are folks who like their coins white and folks who like their coins with a little original skin on them. There seems to be a strong trend at the upper end of most classic series to prefer "original" looking coins, or maybe more accurately coins with pretty colors that can pass for original.
This is decidedly not true for Peace dollars. Morgan collectors seem to either like blast white or psychedelic rainbows. There are people who like high-grade Peace dollars with original toning, but these seem to be in the minority. The highest prices always seem to go to the blast white coins. Dealers always see the white coins sell more quickly. Some of this is probably due to a decided lack of pretty toning in this series (there's no bag-toned, textile or rainbow Morgan equivalent) but not all. I see an enormous trend to dip such coins and I agree that the white fingerprint probably represents a dip. Sooner or later, this is going to eliminate or severely reduce the mint luster that these beauties started with.
Dipped & stripped Peace dollars have a nasty habit of coming back ugly too. I bought a technically phenomenal, drop-dead gorgeous white 1925 that got a bad case of the measles a year or two after buying it. As a white dollar, it's extremely valuable. As a raisin-speckled coin, its value has certainly dropped by several thousand dollars, even with the "right" plastic and green sticker. PCGS refused to fix it. So, my desire to own coins like the OP posted has fallen off quite a bit. Give me booming luster and a bit of original skin any day of the week.
no thats to much money for that, jmo
no

so if Laura sold it, it's not a "dreck"?
No. I look at the hair first on all Peace dollars and that one is flat.
Look for a 21 with good hair upcoming in Great Collections.
Are we on a dating website?!
My 21 likes walking in the rain, dancing, daytrips, and pomeranians.
The short answer is No.
The rationale is simple... Common date and I would be satisfied with a 65 saving me about 10,875 to use towards something rare.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
& nice, & I'd spend the 11 grand, by not buying such common widget.
