All look AT to me.

 

First one looks AT. The Ike is a maybe, but since im not sure I’ll lean towards QC.

 

The reason that I posted the Ike is because it later straight graded at Anacs. I personally thought it was MA, but the crowd has spoken...

Summary of results:
-----------------------

Coin 1 - Monroe Silv Commem (pg.1) - 1 (NT/MA) vs 5 (AT/QC)
Coin 2 - Silv Ike (pg.1) - 2 (NT/MA) vs 5 (AT/QC)
-----------------------

NT/MA (holder is wrong): 0 total
AT/QC (holder is right): 2 total

Points:

@ron_c you are up...

 

Took a chance on this, more details later. Heritage photo.

 

This coin has obviously been cleaned.
I dont blame someone for trying to hide a cleaning lol
Thats a rare bird in UNC

 

My first take is also cleaned. I'm not sure why it got the QC.
I'd lean towards MA for color but still details for the grade....I'm not sure how I would treat that in this thread.

 

What is questionable about the color on the 1901? It may have other problems, but I don't think the color is the primary detriment.

 

This might be a coin you need to see in hand, it could be smoked.

 

The off look is the reason for the color. I don't see enough details to say what it was but I agree with the details holder.

 

I agree with this. AT was originally created to hide flaws and not to make pretty rainbows.

 

Could you explain what you mean by "smoked"? I think I know, but I want to make sure.

 

I actually agree with PCGS, but am aware of dissent. Thoughts on this one?:

(PCGS UNC Details)

 

Just as it sounds - it makes the coin darker/dirtier and can conceal problems.

 

EAC - that Peace is absolutely AT. The obverse doesn't even resemble anything that looks correct!

 

A friend of mine bought the 1901 Morgan in the hopes of getting a straight grade after cracking it out and resubmitting to NGC. NGC also graded it QC Unc Details.

He again cracked it out and used one of the coin cleaning dips and removed the "toning". It was resubmitted again to NGC, but this time it came back as Reverse Improperly Cleaned AU Details. He lost on this deal.

This is my friend that back in the 70's and 80's, when common date Unc. Morgans were cheap ($10 to $12 each), would buy several each month and then use silver polish to make them bright and shinny. When ask why, he said they were his coins and he wasn't going to sell them.

 

I LOVE the fact that it was FINALLY (properly)
graded as an AU on the 3rd try lol

 

The reverse of the Peace dollar isnt so bad, but the progression on the obverse is all wrong

 

AT on the Peace Dollar ....it looks interesting and is by no means the common ugly AT often seen, but AT it still is.
