I know that this is a stupid question but I can't think of any other way to show my "Thanksgiving Day" auction win..........

$350 bid / $410 w/shipping and fee's
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Looks like a DLRC picture

    I'd say MS62

    If you're happy with it at the price you paid, then you didn't overpay.

    Nice strike, but I'm still saying slider.

    I think you paid a fair price for it!

    Nice strike for a 21 Peace.

    Nice coin, worth about a brake job.
  • tbarrecatbarreca Posts: 299 ✭
    I agree that it's a great strike for a 21 Peace $. I also agree that it might be a slider, but this is one I'd have to have in hand to be sure.

    I'd say yes, you did overpay.

    Tremendous strike, but it looks like a 61 to me. Nov. 20 Greysheet for a 63 is $365 Bid/$400 Ask.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Hey, that's not an Ike!

    I don't see any wear. Not a slider, IMO. MS63. Nice strike. Nice luster. I say you did well.
  • darktonedarktone Posts: 8,437 ✭✭✭
    I like it too. Nice strike and lots of frosty luster.

    eh, what grade did they say it was?

    Here's the auction, and green beaned to boot!

    another one of the same grade sold the same night, more typical strike but without the obv. field mark:

    About as well struck as I've seen for a 21. You did just fine, but you already knew that.

    I sold this one (a PCGS/CAC MS63) to a forum member for $400(?), very recently.

    I sold one on eBay just yesterday, PCGS MS63 and it closed at under $250. image

    Edited to add the auction link:

    I dont think that coin is a good representation of the price a 63 should normally go for...

    I would much rather bought your coin Mark!

    image

    I'm not making excuses but I needed a 1921 for my Type set and I figured I'd just take a crack at this on DLRC.

    As usual, I totally forget about buyers fee's and what not's! image

    I forgot to add that this makes me a Green Beanie Club Member too!

    Don't play the beat yourself up game, it's not like you got screwed, you paid a little much, that's all, not a whole lot too much, and it's a nice coin!

    Let us know what it looks like when you receive it. DLRC photos are hard to judge by.

    great strike but that is no 63. 62 maybe
  • FatManFatMan Posts: 8,977 ✭


    << <i>great strike but that is no 63. 62 maybe >>

    Of course PCGS and CAC got it wrong and you nailed it from those washed out images. I hope I don't hurt your feelings but I think I'll go with PCGS and CAC on this one.image

    Nice white coin image Fair price,,, CAC sticker,,, you did good image

    The coin has a nice strike, there are marks that I don't care for but overall nice, but I think you overpaid a bit.

    Fair price...not every coin is going to be the killer 63 plucked at a 62 price. I have paid full retail (plus some) for a good chunck of my collection and I'm okay with that.

    -----------------------------------

    At least it wasn't a $3K coin!



    I like the plastic & the little green sticker but would need to see the coin.
  • lkeigwinlkeigwin Posts: 16,894 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I am a fan of Peace dollars, especially the '21. But I am not a fan of DLRC photos. This one is over-exposed and washed out.

    This could be a really nice coin in hand, depending on how those facial scuffs appear, the spot on Liberty's nose and the reed mark in the field at 9 o'clock. Lighting can exaggerate them or tone them down. In this photo Liberty looks like she lost the fist fight.

    I'll bet it's much prettier in hand. It appears to have a better-than-average strike.

    Share some better photos when it arrives, Lee!

    The coin arrived today and has some really nice Luster. Much better than the MS63 I previously owned. However, the marks do give it a rough appearance.

    image

    I guess its a trade off on the grade. With a bit less luster, perhaps an MS62 but given the current luster, definitely MS63.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I agree, MS63. I could live with it. The only thing that troubles me is the zit on the nose.

    Better than the DLRC photos, for sure!

    A fair price for a slider?

    Slider what? Slider MS63?

    I've changed the title since I am very happy with my coin and the orice I paid for it.

    My last MS63 cost me $400 raw in addition to $30 grading fees and shipping to/from PCGS.
