    I'm no expert, but I'm thinking weak strike on the obverse. The reverse looks sharp. Nice mint luster.
    The lack of definition on the hair on the obverse is noticeable along with the multiple contact marks may suggest an AU grade.

    I want to give this coin a MS62. Appears to have great luster and over all good eye appeal.

    Nice one!

    I'd say MS-63. A lot of roll friction, and a few marks in the cheek, but overall a very nice coin.

    From the photos I'd give it a MS-61. Hard to tell with glare on the first pics. Might go higher with coin in hand. But nice ket date.

    My first impression before seeing the other posts was MS61. Very nice coin.

    Very nice coin!! I'll say either AU-58 (appears to be some luster breaks on the right wing of the eagle, but I could be wrong) if not, then MS-62. Nice coin!!! :thumb:

    FYI the first pics just show that the luster is still there
    that's why I leave the glare

    I'll take a shot and say MS-62 good detail on the reverse. I've not really seen a PEACE reverse with great detail, other than a 1921.

    I think you hit on the button there.
    Peace dollars have unique grading rules as do Morgans. I cross checked with some dealers and they went MS63. Peace dollars are actually allowed more wear than other coins to remain higher graded.

    Thanks all, I appreciate it all
