But you already wrote an article on it ;) https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/877/
This one is hard, Larry. I'm thinking no bean on this one for two reasons: first, as some have mentioned, the scratches on the cheek. These...
I believe you're conflating wear with strike. Remember, the Peace dollar has very low relief, especially the lettering. If you saw this appearance...
I love the Liberty DEs when they come with nice, deep, prooflike fields. Such a big heavy coin, the PL effect is really stunning on these....
Photograde is a very useful tool - but it has its limitations. The peace dollar example you mention is one of them - there is such a wide range...
For everyone saying Fine.... take a look at Photograde: https://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Peace/Grades A coin in Fine has rims nearly worn down,...
I'm at almost 600 copies sold, so a bit better than a Zincoln. In talking with numismatic authors, that number is actually fairly impressive...

It's safe if you know what you are doing. Judging by your question, I'm not sure that's the case. Buying from a reputable, long-time dealer is...
If it isn't AU+, its MS-63 tops. Lot of dings and not much luster.
I wrote a book. Does that count?
Hard to tell the FBL status from these pics (of note - CAC uses the same "standard" as PCGS, and only judges based on the bottom set of lines)....
I always like hearing people enjoyed my book. Thanks!
The intention is that the chemical composition should be the same - which is why the amount of carbon in the atmosphere of the furnace is so...
It happens, but it is rare. Remember, proofs are specially made with more care and attention than regular coins, and are inspected more...
