[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2271343, member: 71510"]SF Peace Dollars are notorious for weak strikes. Getting a full strike is rare, and with the chatter in the field, the scrapes in the neck, and a big gouge in the hair at the eye level - I'd say the Obverse is a 61 to 62, possibly 63 but I don't think so. The reverse looks much better - 62/63 - but this is assuming no wear. Obverse: There are some high spots that show some wear in the hair (could be weak strike and didn't fill the die, or possibly wear from light circulation), so if it's AU - I'd say 53 to 55 - definitely not an AU58. The reverse is either a very weak strike, or it's an AU coin. The feathers have no detail in the picture, and the PEACE seems to fade a bit too much for a high grade/full strike. As with all picture grades - disclaimer - pictures can be tweaked to present the best or worst possible features of the coin. My grade is AU55 / MS62[/QUOTE]
