GTG: 1921 Peace Dollar

I guess that as something of a purist I think 58 should just be just high point rub; this one has some loss of luster in part of the left obv field so I think 56.5 is about right, LOL

Yeah, I would expect a 58 to still have some decent luster. Either way, AU58's can really be nice coins and IMO, this is one of them!

I only guessed AU. '21 Peace Dollars are really tough to grade from only photos.

 

Never knew you were a proponent of decimalizing the Sheldon scale ksparrow

 

True that. This one will make a very good addition to an "everyman" registry set to be sure

 

That's why I went with a 55.

You could split the difference and call it a 55+

 

Now that we know the grade on that gorgeous AU, here's one that may be a bit more difficult to grade. I picked it up in a set over the weekend. It isn't as nice, but as long as we're playing with difficult coins to grade...

 

not authentic

 

Yes, it is....

 

Fine Details, Environmental Damage, Cleaned

I would have questioned the authenticity also, could it be saltwater damage?

I'd say 63. Nice coin

 

au 58

 

The surfaces on your latest post look very odd, like they were sand blasted or something. It must be the photo. Without better pictures, I won't even hazard a guess.

 

Ditto what he said, when the flash comes on accidentally whilst I'm taking a photo, this is what the coin looks like. To clarify, my above post was just a cruel and sick joke.

 

A 64-65 tops too many "dings"

Glad you like it. It graded AU 58.

 

What a great strike on a notoriously flatly struck issue.

Thanks, the strike was a big plus for me.
