Peace dollars graded MS63-67. Put them in order.

The challenge here is to put the Peace dollars in grade order. Let's go from best to worst. So, cite the date for the MS67, then MS66, ..., MS63.

The coins are:

1922
1923-S
1926-D
1934-D
1934-S

These are PCGS-graded and they're presented in date order, not necessarily grade order.

Answers will be revealed in a couple of days.

Yes, this is about their real size and pretty close to what they look like in hand.




And now the close-ups.

1922


1923-S


1926-D


1934-D


1934-S

ok

I will say

#1 is 67
#2 is 63
#3 is 66
#4 is 65
#5 is 64

 

1926d (ms67)
1934d (ms66)
1934s (ms65)
1922p (ms64)
1923s (ms63)

67- 1922
64- 1923-s
66- 1926-d
65- 1934-d
63- 1934-s

 

I don't even know where to begin for grading peace dollars, so I'll just observe this time.

EDIT: Actually I changed my mind. I might as well give it a guess.

MS67 - 1922
MS66 - 1934S
MS65 - 1934D
MS64 - 1926D
MS63 - 1923S

 

My guess
1922 ms67
1926 D ms66
1923 S ms65
1934 S ms64
1934 D ms63

 

Although I'm not a huge fan of the design, those are some gorgeous looking coins!

Lance, you're coming up with some good challenges! Much appreciated.

22P - 67
26D - 66
34D - 65
34S - 64
23S - 63

The 34S is pricey in 64 but it certainly doesn't look any lower. The 26D and 34D look very close in grade.

 

I don't know you but that's pretty funny!

 

I don't collect these either, and it was a toss-up for me between 67 & 66, but I gave the nod to the one that looks to me to have a better obverse strike.

MS67 - 1922
MS66 - 1926D
MS65 - 1934D
MS64 - 1934S
MS63 - 1923S

It was the same on the bottom end. The 34S has the long mark on the back of her neck, but the 23S has the two small marks right in the middle of the primary focal area, so I gave the nod to the 34S.

Ditto, perhaps for others here as well. The x-factor is the mark on the neck of the 34S. PCGS might have determined it to be damage and dropped it a grade (or more) accordingly. Hard to tell everything from photographs.

 

that 22 is da bomb !

 

I guess I should add, as a peace dollar fan I salute you.

 

Thanks, Tater. Peace dollars are tough love. I think they're beautiful. But the compromises (strike, color) put some folks off.
