i dont agree on the grade the d in united is barely visible the u in unum you cant see and the breast feathers on the eagle are not clear.
All typical of the series. It’s a beautiful coin design and I think it would be helpful to you if you studied the coin a little to understand it more.
A weak strike is a separate issue and doesn't affect the grade. Peace dollars are notorious for weak strikes.
You are wrong. That is typical of the series. It is an average strike for a 1922 Peace Dollar. Hammered strikes for that date are uncommon.
I have two complete sets of Morgan and Peace Dollars, AU or better. One for each granddaughter. Our hope is that they continue collecting or use them wisely. By then, where we are concerned, out of sight out of mind. Enjoyed your post Collecting Nut, thank you.
@dimeguy That's what I did, I really like the circulated Peace Dollars. Link https://collectivecoin.com/TwoBitCollector/all-coins/QgBaGsZB9vyr20AylfSP
Hah! Now do pre-1925 Standing Liberty Quarters. Where’s the date?!?! Why is the head so undefined?!?! in any case I love the Peace Dollars and I hope a complete set is in my future.
@Collecting Nut and anyone who could help: Considering the OP coin, is that finish preferred to the looks of mine and, if so, why? I have never had a coin slabbed or professionally graded.
Your coin is MS-64 with a bit of dull grey color. Mine is an unknown grade with more of a shiny silver color. Most folks agree that your coin matches the MS criteria. Does that mean that my coin is other than MS or less desirable? Anyway, why do two nice coins have different surface texture? I don't want to belittle your coin, it is very nice. But, why do they look so different?
The conditions under which both coins have been kept for the last 99 years. Has either coin been subjected to a dip, a cleaning, or been professionally restored? I can’t answer those questions about either coin.
I did not post my 1922 MS 65+ PCGS, as this is your thread, and I have posted it several times before. I think your coin is sooooo close to 65. It is very attractive. By the way, ALL shiny Peace Dollars have been dipped. As long as it was done properly, that is not an issue. A 99 year old Silver Coin’s natural state is not shiny, brand new looking.
