<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 24483718, member: 37839"]This was an easy coin to grade. Also, given that so many coins are bought sight unseen, learning to grade coins like this is essential. [USER=22377]@ddddd[/USER] is right about the way he sees it. That is almost certainly a MS coin, hiding under heavy toning. The AU 58 was probably conservative, as I see MS surface preservation there. If I cracked it out, and dipped it, it would look sharper than coin #2 that I posted. I won’t, as crusty toning is so common on Peace Dollars. Under a good lamp, the coin glows, but you can’t see it in those photographs. I posted it for a learning experience in grading toned Peace Dollars, as a lot of the original surface ones look just like this. Do I think the toning is an asset? No, but it isn’t a liability either. A lot of the dipped Peace Dollars of that era look washed out and lusterless, after a dip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
