Can't tell a whole lot from the photos, unfortunately. Could be high AU, could be Unc. The highest probability, for a raw AU/UNC '21 Peace at...

Bruce Morelan just sold his 1794 SP 1$ to Great Collections for 12 million; he won it at auction for 10 million in 2013. 20% return in 9...

Well, I'm late to the meeting, but I agree that the Peace is damaged (really sad!) and the Trade dollar is cleaned (long wispy marks in the fields).
