Opinions on this 1924-S being a candidate for PCGS restoration?

They'll reject it. Plus why would you want to get rid of a rainbow on a peace dollar?!?!?

 

Wow, $800 price tag? Tougher date in high grades, though.

 

Can you be more specific about why they’d reject it? I know nothing about restoration.

It’s not the rainbow that bothers me, but the dark spots on the obverse. Just doesn’t have nice eye appeal to me.

 

You got it x 2!

 

If you read about restoration on their website, they state what they will not dip/restore and why. One of these is toning. And PCGS also says that if they don't think a coin can be improved, it will be rejected. So basically I would bet big money that they would not consider dipping out that coin would improve it. Also, they do not dip just one side of a coin. It's the whole thing. I know this from experience. They overdipped and ruined one of mine once. Never used them since.

 

If that coin straight graded, I'll be a monkey's uncle ...

 

MS64!

 

I wonder if a Authorized Dealers, sent this coins in and that's why it straight graded ?

 

Dealers don't get better grades that's a myth and why wouldn't that straight grade

 

Altered surface ...

 

That coin was so burnt from acid, even the rim has blackening ..

 

Albums turn rims black.....

 

It looks good to me, no PVC or environmental damage (toning not severe enough). I wouldn't mess with it. If you don't like it, sell it and put the money towards one you like.

 

Am I missing a post or picture showing that the coin is MS64?

 

Pretty sure it's an eBay listing

Do you like organic or regular bananas? I thought you were an expert on nickels and cents. Otherwise, I've confused you with another member of CT.

Please reveal what you are seeing.

It is called oxidation. In this case, it's probably attractive to many members.

@DUNK 2 I recommend you leave the coin as is. The toning can be easily removed at any time and then the coin will be as common as all the other "white" ones around.
