Guess the grade--NGC 1922 Peace Dollar

This should be very interesting coin for everyone to grade. As always, your comments and opinions of the coin are encouraged. And no, I do not own the coin.




I kind a dig the fingerprint and the eagle looks like he was in a serious fight.

I voted for MS-65, even with the hit on the tail.

The colors are great, but I don't hink that NGC is great with colors.

So, even tho I voted 65, I think that NGC graded it 63.

A definite upgrade possibility, send it to PCGS, they like color better.

 

I'm not sure if it's the toning that's making the lettering look weak or just my old eyes, but I will have to say MS-61.

 

Wondering the same thing myself Doug, they must be scared of this coin.

 

i am thinking ms63. just a hunch. nice coin though. love the color.

 

I voted MS63. It looks like there are some noticeable hits on Liberty's cheek a couple pretty good sized hits on the Eagle on the reverse. The toning makes it hard to get a good look at the fields, but based on the hits I can see, I'd imagine this coin is bag marked up...possibly to the extent of being below MS63. It also looks like it has a finger print to the left of Liberty. But, I can't see if it has more marks so I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt. Plus, with the nice toning...I'd imagine that NGC might bump it a point or so. So, I'm going with MS63.

 

I don't see many hits on the obv, so I'll guess 64.

 

I think it is a solid MS-63. I feel that their are too many hits on this one. I however feel that where it is toned, rather attractive, and where the majority of the hits are on the reverse NGC gave it a 64. Is it me or does a coin with a nice obverse but with a doggie reverse gets a higher grade than a coin with a doggie obverse and killer reverse? Just thought, not saying this coin is a dog, you always post some killer coins, I'd look at it and maybe buy if the price was right.

 

I can't vote because I've already seen this coin. I do like the fingerprint-as odd as it sounds. It almost looks like she is speaking in sonar.

 

That is what I was waiting for. Normally, I find fingerprints very distracting, but this one kinda looks cool to me. I don't know why, but the fingerprint makes the coin IMO. The toning is very unusual and I like the obverse, but man that reverse is rough.

 

Voted 64. While I think it should be 63-64, I bet the graders gave it the bump to 64 due to the toning.

great color IMO, but the reverse has too many hits to get above a 63. An intriguing coin nonetheless.

 

Busy with the NFL playoffs

Lehigh's photos are way big. I'll say MS64.

 

I'm scared to guess on this one -- could really be anywere.

Obverse looks pretty clean. Fingerprint notwithstanding.

Reverse has some pretty deep digs on the eagle -- where they typically occur.

I voted 63, but don't feel confident at all with my assessment.

 

So Lehigh, are you planning on telling us anything soon? I'm dying to know.

 

Inquiring minds want to know!

 

OK,

Here we go:



An interesting coin and one that is very difficult to grade because of the disparity in surface preservation between the obverse and reverse. Personally, I would grade the coin MS63, but I love the fingerprint and toning on the obverse.

 

Interesting coin with some unique characteristics. By the time I opened up the thread, the answer was posted, but i would have guessed MS63. I have never seen a fingerprint on a coin that I actually liked, but this may be a first!

 

wow I think we shared the same opinion of this one. Just for myself could you post a pic of the reverse at the same scale as the above posted obverse.

thanks

BTW nice peace dollar even with a finger print.
