GTG - 1921 Peace Dollar

Go right ahead. Good luck with a regrade. I maintain it is appropriately graded. If you paid 65 money for that coin, it is a lot. It should not grade higher than 65, based on my experience.

I would be scared to crack them . I know you are probably less likely to get a upgrade by doing a crossover but I would be more comfortable doing a crossover and marking the minimum grade I would accept but that’s me

 

I totally agree. I said 64 but I could go to 65 but not higher. A plus mark or a bean wouldn’t make it worth the cost to me.

 

Given that PCGS is cautious in grading the 4 key dates of the Peace Dollar series—1921, 1928, 1934s, and 1935s, as there are big jumps in price for high grade coins, I would not consider an upgrade. The TPGs don’t want to chance over grading those dates, as they lose credibly in the market with overgraded examples sporting sky high grades, and prices that accompany them.

 

I agree with the cautious folks. I think the grade is correct. So would only add cost to its value for a regrade and risk a down grade if cracked out. If you must take the risk, leave it in the slab and do a crossover with a minimum grade stated. Your only risking the money. If it were me, I'd leave it alone. JMHO. Good luck.

 

Well said!

 

Send it to CAC to see if JA agrees it's a solid 65.

 

I won't discount your experience and it's sound advice but all my peace dollars are getting reholdered being most already are PCGS just want them in Gold shield holders for uniformity and maximum value. Paying an extra 30 dollars besides crossover fees for a few NGC ones are worth it considering they have doubled or trippled since buying them. I know it's a lottery numbers gamble.

 

Going to find a dealer who can help me submit them that's good advice

 

The most recent pictures look a lot better to me than the ones first posted, or maybe it's because I now know the grade it got! It is a nice coin, but I don't think it's worth trying to cross it over. I sent PCGS an NGC 65 S-L 25c that I thought was really nice, and it came back in a 64 holder. I've recently sent it to CAC to see what they think.

 

Playing the crack out game can work out sometimes but, there is a down side. The down side comes in when you crack it out. A slight mistake and you could damage the coin. Or there is always the chance of being down graded or details graded. It doesn't matter which service you send the coins to either. It comes down to the person doing the grading.

I saw a coin today the was details graded as cleaned and wizzed. The coin was a 2 cent piece that may have been cleaned but, didn't really look cleaned. As far as wizzed no way. As most know the obverse of a 2 cent piece with shield has some very fine details. Had the obverse been wizzed there would be some sign of it in the fine details. The reverse looked normal with no signs of being wizzed or cleaned. The only thing I can say is that the coin may have been very lightly cleaned sometime in the past.

 

+1.

 

Almost a 50% chance on crossover according to PCGS now that they are providing statistics. https://www.pcgs.com/statistics
but I've decided to just resend back into NGC for reconsideration at this point. will sometime in the future share results

 

The Standing Liberty 25c I mentioned above is now a PCGS MS64 with a green bean.
