AU 50 Nice original peace dollar, IMHO...Mike

64 DMPL is my guess. Tough to say PL or DMPL based on the photos, though. Nice coin, in any event...Mike
I'll go conservative and say MS 64. Could be a 65 though depending on the surfaces and cheek...Mike
Their new photo technique just introduced in the past few months...well...sucks. I don't know how else to say it. They do a horrible job of...
Great post, and a fabulous overview that all beginners should read!!! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to disagree with your choice of examples...
