1924 Peace Dollar MS 65

For most coins, never, never, never rub or wipe...blotting works just fine.

Will be very careful. Don’t want to ruins a graded ms 65 coin.

 

You'll have to submit it for conservation and they'll let you know if it can be done. They won't attempt to give you an answer based off pictures. That being said, this coin is probably on the cusp of being worth it/not worth it. In the end it is no longer in a slab so that's how any potential buyer would view it on the open market. It looks like you can buy a nice blast white flashy one with zero problems in an NGC slab for around $175. And those are sitting. Is that coin worth the same $$ as one in a TPG slab? No. If it bugs you, you should just sell it for whatever you can get out of it and put it into an already slabbed 65 with no problems. That will be the easiest option.

I did use conservation once on a coin from the US mint. NGC removed a red spot off a gold coin for me. Then it went to grading and came back a 70. The conservation can do amazing things but the coin has to be worth the investement.

 

Interesting!

 

After placing this 1924 ms65 next to a few of my new proof 70 coins, there’s no way this would ever improve to a 70.. if it were a rare date or mint example, maybe. I’m leaning towards stuffing it away and just enjoying the view! Lol

 

Great looking car, and I love the color.

 

Long Beach Red! Thanks Mike! Me too!.

 

Unfortunately that’s a problem your going to
run in to with silver coins in general, I even
had one turn on me inside the holder ! starting getting ugly black tonning on it
was also graded 65 however if it was ever
regraded it would for sure drop a minimum
of two points and could never recover the
money I spent on it

 

Remember you can always increase the dip to water concentration and effect, but never reduce it once done. Jim

 

I didn't mean to imply that conservation would boost a grade to a 70 (or at all for that matter) but it can make the coin more eye appealing. Over at NGCs census they've only graded one 1924 Peace at a MS68. That is the top pop. listed. So there are no 70s in existence. Mine was just a specially made mint product strictly for collectors where as your Peace dollar is a business strike meant for circulation and probably did for a bit..

They have a total of 8,817 - 1924s reported as MS65s. 143 in MS65+. 1,598 in MS-66. 167 got a MS-66+. 131 MS-67s 18 in MS-67+ and 1 in MS-68.

That's the top of the population report at NGC if you're interested. There are of course thousands more at PCGS and some of those have probably been crossovers between the two inflating these numbers over the years. Just to give you a rough idea of the conditional rarity of what you have.

The price guide lists a 65 at $210, a 66 at $600, a 67 at $5k, 67+ $7500 and the lone 1 at MS-68 is valued at $50k.

Notice the big price jump from 66 to 67 vs the availability. There's theoretically 12x more of them available in 66 compared to what's available in a 67 grade so the value jumps 8x roughly on this one. Very subtle differences between the two grades if much of anything at all.

 

Vess, thanks for the help, time and info! Conservation on special coins that will increase value, I can see being done. Honestly, the only conservation my 24 will see, if it ever does, will be at home. Lol.

 

If you do, show us.
