    OK Team, Here is the coin, take a shot at grading it. The pictures were taken under natural light. All opinions welcomed.

    Thanks for looking

    I'll take a stab at it.

    Very nice detail. Thinking though that the marks on the obv didnt help the net on this one though. Is that a pretty bad one above her eye?

    MS60

    Heavy contact marks in all areas of field makes for generally poor eye appeal has some luster but that could be from the picture. Reverse some contacts in field, wing and leg feathers look weak sorry MIKE, nice looking coin to have but best grade I can give it is AU-58.

    It has a lot of bag marks and based on the picture, perhaps a slight amount of wear. I'll say AU-55. The Peace dollar's features are so muddled, that it makes grading difficult (one reason I find this the ugliest US coin).

    Even with that boxing scar above the eye I'll bet PCI still gives this coin a MS62.

    Hi Vincent,
    That eye looks bad, I think P.C.I. will send it back to MIKE with no grade, I still give it an au-58.

    My personnal grade would also be AU58 with the marks.

    Thanks for the guess's. The coin was graded "by PCI" as MS-62, I paid XF money ($55) for it and have sent it to my brother for an AU-53ish 1899-P Morgan. He has several of them and well,... what are brothers for? :)

    Take Care

    Pretty good deal on your part.

    No peace dollars look better than AU to me.

    I was going to argue that point. Went and looked at my MS63 PCGS 1928 Peace.. and........................ your right.

    Wow...I'm sure pcgs would grade it MS60 or send it back...one ugly ms coin imo...I'd much rather have a solid AU58 with a small bit of wear than all those nicks anyday

    thats because the peace design was just a poor concept to begin with.
