1925 Peace Dollar , Guess the Grade.

Okay I got this Peace dollar a couple days ago from my local coin shop, the coin has nice golden tone. So can you guess what grade it is? There is no prize,unless you consider being right a prize. I will post the answer tomorrow morning..Good Luck!

Ms-65, I like the hazy toning:thumb:

 

MS63/64. Nice, toned example.

I'll say MS-64. Nice pickup!

 

Think about a ms67, feathers all appear very clean yet separated....Nice "Peace" coin

 

i cant tell if some of the spots are the slab or the coin but im just gonna say 65 anyway.

 

Ms 63

 

I will give it an MS64+. TC

 

MS-66...very clean

 

64

 

I'm going to say MS63, it's a beautiful coin.

 

ms-64???

 

I'll guess they graded it MS64

I'll guess they graded it MS64.

If it were a different date, then they might have given it a MS65 (but they don't seem do that on the 1925 because that date has to be really really really nice to get a 65 from a TPG).

I have a 1925 graded MS64 in my collection & I swear it looks nicer than several of the TPG MS65s.

Has anyone else had this experience with the 1925 dated Dollar?

 

I think the range of grades is a testament to how difficult Peace Dollars can be for grading. What is it to now, MS 62-MS66? My initial gut thought just looking at the pics was 63, but I'm just a novice on the series and those darn weakly struck peaces. (like the pun?)

 

Well,you guys were really close..! Its a ms62 slabbed in the old green label pcgs holder. Makes me think it would higher if submitted again, but I like having the green label pcgs slabs.thanks for playing!

 

62? That's a head scratcher. It makes me thing that something must be wrong with the coin that's not visible in the photos.

 

Maybe the spots "Lugia" noticed, have something to do with it being graded at ms62.

 

Wow a 62? That grade seems ultra conservative. The white spots on the obverse have anything to do with it?

 

The 62 may just be evidence of the grading standards when this coin was first sent in, as evidenced by the old green holder.

 

With all due respect, there is NO way that coin is an example of gradeflation to the extent described in this thread (a 62 coin that looks like a 65/6). 62 to 63, maybe, but that coin looks WAY TOO CLEAN to be a 62 by anyone's standards -- even 1989 standards -- thus the "head scratcher" statement. I suspect, very strongly, we are missing something -- harilines, overdipping, high-point rub/cabinet friction, or something.
