I was perusing e(vil)Bay for grandchild Christmas gifts a couple weeks ago, and "stumbled" across this coin. Came from a long time coin seller, w/100% feedback, so figure it is authentic. First Peace Dollar and finally showed up, today. Didn't pay that price shown (down to $26.99)
Not a bad coin. I see nothing that makes me think it's not genuine. A nice gift for your grandchild. Hope they are appreciative of it and become a collector.
Peace dollars are nice. I like yours. Back in 1951 during the Silver Anniversary of the Pontiac my aunt bought one. They gave her a memento in the form of a money clip with a Peace Dollar in it. It said "Dollar for Dollar you can't beat a Pontiac". It is still in the family.
