Affordable Peace Dollar in Auction

Is anyone out there looking for an affordable certified Peace Dollar? OK so my real question is why would someone waste money on grading this coin? The grading fee cost more than the coin. The only purpose this serves is to satisfy the collectors who attempt to assemble type sets with the lowest grades possible.

Wow

 

Man, talk about a black eye, that babe is really beat up.

 

lowball set should cost a lot if it got 2 or 1 but 3 i dont know

 

But, the total population for PCGS and NGC is a total of 2 !!!!!!! Rare in this grade, well worth a hefty bid, yada, yada, ebayspeak.

Seriously, do you think they might have thought they had a whisker cheek? VAM 1D with a rarity of R-6? ...and didn't? I can see some type of disturbance in that area.

well i dont know about peace but morgans with a grade of 1 can comamnd a lot of money more than even a 63 or 64 if they fit into the lowball set. i think someone was trying for 1 and took a hit its like a trying to aim for a 70 and getting a 69 only the other way round

 

This is the last circulated whisker cheek that I could find in Heritage's archives and it only sold for $65, so I don't think that was the reason.

worst type set ever

It probably was from someone attempting to put together the-type-set-from-hell.

Another thought I had was that it could have been someone with bad eyesight hoping it was a 1928.

 

LOL...I thought the same thing.

 

That has to be it. The 1928 is actually worth slabbing in any grade. However, I just found this F2 IGC 1928 and it looks much better than the 1923 in the OP. I think NGC overgraded the coin and should be P1.

how much is it in 66?

 

They should resubmit the darn thing over and over until they get justice !

Of course, they'll have to crack it out. When regrading in-slab, they won't lower the grade. Or bounce from TPG to TPG as a crossover minimum acceptable grade PO-1 :rolling:.

 

If they submitted the 1923 AG 3 to SGS it would grade an AU 58 slider BU.

Some people collect perfection. Some collect uniqueness. The hobby is far richer than most suspect.

 

some like me collect ordinary coins

 

Probably wouldn't have to worry about anyone stealing it! Also would probably not hear someone say, I wish I could afford that coin.

 

If it was toned, I would buy it.
