    Beautiful. I rarely see that type of pastel colors on a Peace dollar. Let alone toning in general.

    It's a miracle! I 've never seen such a nice "Peace" dollar! My coin is much worst.

    Admit it, Doug.

    If it wasn't slabbed you would say: AT!

    Personally, I am surprised that he did say it was AT anyway. Those two circular spots on the neck could be contact points for an applied electrical current which is a method used to AT coins. I think the coin is gorgeous no matter what the origin of the toning and I am happy for the owner that it resides in a TPG holder.

    No, I wouldn't.

    But that whatever it is by the L, that bothers me because I can't decide what it is. I avoided commenting before because I wanted to sleep on it. But I still can't decide if it's raised or incuse, damage, or maybe a strikethrough of some kind. I just don't know, never seen anything quite like it. If you look at the shadows and light reflection, the portion closest to the rim looks raised. And the portion closest closest to the L looks incuse. But if it is either one, what the heck could have caused it ?

    And if it is a strikethrough, why is there no impression in the rim ? And if it is damage, why is there no damage to the rim ? It looks as if the rim cuts off the end of whatever it is, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the likelihood that something, anything, could be, just happen to be, positioned so perfectly. This one has me talking to myself.

    But I like the toning ;)

    I'd bet it's a strike through of a thin shard of metal. Not thick enough to disturb the rim (tho there is a little something going on there)... but thick enough that when struck in to the surface it left a shallow impression.

    That's STUNNING. That has to be the prettiest 1921 Peace Dollar I've ever seen. The lavender and orange/pink toning really accentuate the high relief strike.

    It looks great.....but I have to suspect AT. I would never take it out of the slab.
