[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7911724, member: 10461"]1927 Peace dollar: while that's a somewhat better date, I don't think that one needs a slab or would be worth the extra time and expense. Maybe cleaned. And then there's the reeding marks. It's just fine as a raw coin. 1834 Bust half: it's a common date (though I don't know about the variety). Cleaned, but since that's par for the course on Bust halves, I don't know whether they'd consider it "market acceptable" or not. I don't think they would. 1902 Barber half: it is, as you pointed out, hairlined, which is also not unusual on proof Barber halves, and cleaned (likewise not unusual). If you want it in a holder to certify that it is indeed a proof, go ahead and send it in, but otherwise, I see no benefit here.
