New acquisition. Nice toning

I'm personally not a huge fan of the color, and the luster looks muted (maybe because of the toning.)

Based on the marks I see, and because the luster looks average, I'd call this a borderline 63/64 based on these pictures. For example, that's a pretty serious mark on her neck. Different pictures might show a different coin.

 

I'm at 63.

 

64

 

Tough coin to judge. First glance MS62, second look, AU58, IMO.

 

Not an AU coin. No wear.

 

I was inclined towards AU58 as well.

I think the hickey precludes her from anything higher than MS63, so I'll go with that.

 

She had to get stitched up, always what I think when I see those pesky reeded-edge marks.

 

MS-64 with nice toning

 

MS 63

 

62

 

Toning much nicer in hand. More golden Yellow, than Orange.

 

I like my grade better.

 

It is very close to 64, I would say. I collect toned Peace dollars that are 63 and above. The toning is far less common than Morgans, and far less vivid, due to different storage methods.

 

The toning may have thrown me off but I think it's more of a 64.

 

I thought 64 myself. Though that mark on the neck is major

 

Nonetheless I would be looking elsewhere for such a crucial coin.

63

My own is just a 61.

63 seems fair.

 

Prior to your slab post I was at 62. Your up by 1 good show.

 

The splotchy, streaky, brown and beige toning like this is not usually considered a positive. This would fall under PCGS's description of "negative eye appeal." Negative eye appeal has a negative effect on the value, and thus a negative effect on the grade.

The vast majority of collectors would prefer a brilliant white or neutral appearance as compared to this sort of splotchy toning.
