Guess the grade--1922 Peace Dollar

Guess the grade of this 1922 Peace Dollar assigned by the TPG. Merry X-MAS and have some fun with a colorful holiday coin. No poll on this one guys, just your gut feelings.

If I was grading this coin I would body bag it for artificial toning.

 

Au58 (jaw), but probably graded MS65/66.

Could you post the other pictures so I don't have to cheat

I bet this toning looks ugly in hand.

 

I would say that's artificial toning by the obverse the reverse is questionable still I won't give it a grade I do think is not natural toning,

It's from heritage so it's slabbed. May have been post slabbed AT. Just guess how bad they messed up :headbang:

BTW is this a VAM? Die gouge by the eye and on the reverse ray under the 1st L in Dollar. (sorry if they aren't gouges lol)

 

Merry X-mas! Sorry, that Peace Dollar got some bad eggnog.

And I know there will be later posts saying "fantastic toning'. That's the danger of spending pesos on this kind of coin - it' 99.9% subjective.

Grade is really a non-element here since my eye can't get past the stains.

Sorry. My gut feeling.

 

It could always be ANACS. MS60 details Artificially toned? That is a possibility. I'm still going with my 1st post.

looks like it was heated...

as for the grade, no idea! Im not too great with grading peace dollars.

 

Looks like a 62 or 63 to me, with AT on it.

Watch and it's holdered at 65*

 

I can't say anything about the toning but otherwise that seems to be a 64. The strike is not good enough IMO to be more than that.

Ms-65.....

 

I'm going to say MS-63. The eye appeal, lack of original luster (although there is some left) and contact marks and scratches in key focal areas should have brought it down. It should not be above a 63.

 

I'm not that good on grading, but I'd guess AU-55. I thought I saw a slight flat spot on the hair, but I do know that Peace dollars frequently have weak strikes. The toning doesn't look natural, and the Mint luster just isn't there.

 

I have seen this one before and it was a MS-64Star if it the same Lee.

 

I would disagree on the AT call. The toning may be ugly, but plausibly could naturally occur in this way. I also say that toning also does a phenomenal job of hiding things, so grading a toned coin like this from a picture might be nearly impossible to do with any accuracy, well at least for me.

If pressed, I would say AU-55 because I think the strike is relatively weak, especially for a 1922, and there may be just a hint of wear hiding on the highest points and underneath the toning.

just my 2¢,

Why not? It looks completely N to me. But, define NT and AT. I don't think anybody can. At least, not in any practical way anybody can utilize.
