First of all, I want to say thanks to all the member here. I don't post a lot, but I do read daily, and the knowledge here is really second to none across the internet. Now, down to business. Pretty much what the thread title says. I recently purchased a 1921 peace dollar, that to me, seems in pretty decent shape. However, I only recently started collecting these, and I do not know if this is worth being sent in to be graded. The patina you see on the coin is the actually patina, almost a deep, rich slate gray. I apologize for the quality of the pictures, it is the best I could take with my phone. Hoping the resolution stays when I upload the photos, and that that will help with your replies. So, should I send it in, and if so, what do you realistically think it might grade at? Thanks again.
AU 53-55. Decent strike for the date. Certify it? It might be easier to sell, but I probably wouldn't. Pics out of the holder would help us determine the surfaces a little better, and what marks are on the coin.
Nice pictures of a pretty coin! I like the strike and luster. Wear on Liberty's hair indicates AU53 to me. Given the low mintage of the 1921, I might be tempted to have it graded.
Au 55 And one of the best struck 21 peace dollars I’ve seen in a long time. I’d have it graded but that’s me. I like it a lot
AU Details.... Looks polished from the pics you have. For a cheap way to get a grade and slabbed, ANACS is always a good option when they run specials.
I would say keep it raw or send it to ANACS if you wanted it in a large plastic case. Not worth the cost of PCGS or NGC in my opinion.
