Occasionally I will bid on a coin i like in a questionable holder. Any opinions on whether this Peace dollar will straight grade or is cleaned. This one is beyond my grading skills. Thank you for your time.

    It's not a 65. Hard to term if it's cleaned in this pictures. I don't see it a obviously cleaned.

    Might be a straight grade. Would need to rotate the coin to fully see hairlines. I see some below the Y in LIBERTY, some in from of Liberty's face. Not sure what the long vertical mark is in front of the eagle's right wing (looks raised in this photo). Not a 65.

    Coin looks plenty overdipped. I believe for that reason, it would details grade.

    I am not encouraged by the look of the surfaces. However, in all fairness, part of that concern could be related to the lighting and the image in general.

    There seems to be some type of line on the reverse within the rays that extends from the N in UNUM downward to the ray.

    Yup. It’s basically bullion - will never be worth more.

    It is hard to tell given the direction of the light source. Sometimes that is done in a way that is not for your benefit. You might buy a pig in a poke.

    Might straight grade as a high AU. Hard to tell from photo if cheek was wiped or just circulation marks.

    Based on the photos I would not waste money on trying to get it into a PCGS straight graded holder.
