Grade another Peace dollar anyone?

I agree mark field not enough ware to be vf, that's why I still think its xf+. I should clarify, I think the original posted coin is xf-45.

I will repost the reverse as soon as I can

 

not to stand on an island alone, but my grade for what it's worth is no better than VF-35. The luster is great, and waaaay better than what I would expect in a VF coin... in places. In fact, it's what I would expect from an AU coin were the luster on the obverse matching what we see on the reverse. In the protected area of the obverse (near the tiara) you see a great deal of luster. were the coin AU or even XF for that matter, I would expect to see that quality of luster on most of the rest of the obverse with broken bits on the high points. It's hard to tell from pictures, but my gut says that the obverse does not have the luster of the reverse, and it looks to me as if not only are there bad pits and lots of (for lack of a better term) "bag marks", but the prime areas of the coin have been harshly cleaned. Maybe by the original owner of the coin many years ago, who knows?

Look at the obverse where Liberty is, and you'll see the luster in the photo that's not there in the rest of the coin.

 

Peace dollars are tough to grade [for me anyway]. So this thread has been helpful.

 

here are better pics of the 25 and also a 27 I bought from the same seller

 

Man, I love those (1927) Peace Dollars, very UNDER Collected/Valued coin. Only 848,000 struck is all, 150,000 (or so) less than the 1921 and 450,000 (or so) more than the 1928.

Good Looking Coin in MS-64ish condition.

Take Care

now thats what I'm talking about. Love that 1927. Makes me want to crack the old nikon out and share some of my old ladies.

 

Very nice coin. My '27 looks like I strapped some sandpaper to my dogs butt and let him scoot all across it!

 

I guess I better not tell you guys what I paid. You might wanna cry after.... good for me, bad for you

 

Curiously, what about it makes you feel that way? Thanks.

 

Cuz I love peace dollars and that is a not bad looking ms coin IMO.:kewl:
