New Peace Dollar

Picked up today at the Scottsdale coin show. I did not have any plans to spend money, but I wasn't going to let someone else get it.

I have decided to play hookie from work and do some catching up on my coin site and some home chores. Have a great Sunday folks.

nice when are you buying a 64?

 

This was $30...I think a 64 is more expensive.

 

Dude, that is a stunning coin. :thumb: I'd say MS-64 easily.

i meant 1964 not ms 64

 

Is that a scratch or a die crack running thru the base and rear of the neck?

Now thats a purty NT coin , really like the obverse .

Die crack, it's raised metal, not a scratch

 

Arizona is that a MM on the reverse S or D ?
rzage

 

so then is it a weak strike on the reverse on E Pluribis?
I hate grading peace dollars

 

Maybe just the way the coin is presented in the picture. As you know beautiful coins sometimes don't quite photograph the way they look in-hand.

Take Care

To avoid confusion in the future you should consider abbreviating a date as follows:

1964 = '64

 

I'm not very good at grading, plus the picture makes it hard to grade. My guess would be a AU58-MS60 Obverse, XF-45 reverse(I can't even see the word peace on it!). I'm sure the coin looks much better in hand. Are both photos from the same coin? The toning is similiar, but the wear seems uneven. Your not trying to fool us with two coins are you?

 

The coin is " slider-ish"

Same coin, lettering is weak in the pics due to lighting and toning. I took this pic under the " milk jug" light diffuser to get the color.

Album toned Peace dollars are tough, and I had the luck of seeing this fresh at a stale show, it really popped out at me, for $30 I grabbed it.

 

Toned peace dollars, particularly attractively toned peace dollars, are as rare as hens teeth.

That's one pretty coin, and I bet it would fetch a great deal more than $30 on eBay....Mike

 

hats off nice find for the money. I need to go to shows with you Jack.

 

There are several of us making plans for the next Long Beach show in Sept, the 18-20th....A CoinTalk get together would be great, and in Utah, your airfare is still very reasonable !!

 

I'll have to check with the boss and see if she'll let me give myself a b-day present.

 

Nice find Jack.

 

That's a good one !

Numismatic jokes... there aren't many around !
