    I sold of most of my Peace dollars years ago. This is the last of the three I have gotten recently.

    This is the first time I have seen the insert size in an ANACS slab.
    Give it your best guess.

    I won't even guess. I have a lot of them, but they all seem to be poor strikes. Most of them, PEACE is barely evident even in excellent condition. I still don't have one in the 1921 or 1928 years though. When I inherited my haul, I really got tired of my heart stopping only to see they were 23's and not 28s. :p

    MS 63 on this one....more chatter and the spot hurts it a bit... good luster is a plus

    When I get back to my primary residence, I'm going to post one of my 1922 strikes, it's way too brilliant to not been doctored. I'd like your opinion on it Pickin!

    Call the cops, someone punched her in the nose. When she fell to the ground, she got all those bumps, nicks, and bruises. And after all that torture she was still beautiful, graceful, and willing to continue the trek. Until she met you and you both fell in love, married, and had many little coins. Isn't life great. end of story.

    62. I cannot tell if the nasal drain is raised or recessed from the photos. If raised, 63, if recessed, 62.

    @David Betts
    It's a large raised IDB. This is a top 50 VAM
    It's called the "Moustache" because of the position of the break.

    Well, here is the grade. If I was grading this piece. There are a few light wisps going across the cheek that you need a magnifier for. So I would have graded it a AU58.
    I don't think that the 61 it got is too egregious. I have been after one of these for a bit now and had to pull the trigger.

    I also think 61 is too harsh unless the spots brought it down that much.

    That's a nice Peace dollar. Were you tempted to fix that milk spot? I know I would have been, and probably would have tried. :p

    Thats a spot that very few can remove, I am not qualified. I have seen a person here remove a nasty spot and keep the grade.
    Jefferson I believe.
    I guess the point is there is a difference between doctoring and restoring..

    Peace dollars rely on Luster. This coin if Gem would be out of my reach.
    These and Buff's are I think the hardest to grade.
