GTG: 1922 $1

I freed her from her PCGS slab to go into my type set.

Peace Dollars are tough for me. That's a very strong strike for a 22. I'd give it a 64, a 65 it not for a couple of boo boos on the obverse. It still could make 65 based on graded slabs I've seen.

 

If the rest of the set looks as good as her you definitely have a winner.

 

I see high point friction

AU58

 

The feathers on that eagle are outstanding, no doubt.

Given the quality of the photos, I am really unsure on this one....

Strike: Peace dollars are known for weak strike. This appears to be okay, but there appears to be high point weakness on the feathers at the very least.

Luster: I'm going to base much of my grade on this factor, due to the picture quality. The luster appears undisturbed in the fields. Normally, I would look for luster breaks on the high points, but I can't really determine that. However, if I look at the luster between Liberty's nose and the rim (one of the widest open areas, sure to show wear if there was any) I don't see any break in the luster.

Eye Appeal: Generic, neutral, untoned silver.

Contact Marks: Plenty, in prime focal areas. Marks everywhere.

Overall grade... 62.

 

I'm at MS-63. It's a decent strike but there are several deep nicks; however, I believe that it's "CACable".

Sorry, I had to make that joke after hearing how much of a flop the Mac stickers were.

 

Looking at Bottom of the hat. High au

 

Dang, I just love this group! I learn so much from y’all’s posts and responses. I’ll give it til morning and post the slab.

 

I'm in the camp that there is a little rub. AU58.

IF it got an MS grade, 62-63.

 

I believe this beauty is AU58.

Edit - but I can definitely see with the right light, on a good day, PCGS grading this MS60-MS61; I wouldn't be too surprised.

 

Nice coin. Very pretty

 

Not sure on the grade but definitely an exceptional coin. Just a little lower than mint state in my opinion. AU 55.

 

I agree with several others a touch of rub puts it at AU58

 

AU58. But what do I know about grading???

 

MS61

 

AU Details

 

Y'all know your business, but I like that all of the guesses were spot on or higher. Not sure what @dwhiz was picking up on for a details grade, but I've seen a lot of details grades that baffle me, so a reasonable guess.

Side note - this slab damn near killed me trying to get it open!

Side side note - my OCD brain really wants to get that one black spot off her crown/rays..."I bet I could just scrape that off..."
