Guess The Grade: 1925 Peace Dollar

Picked this up today. Guess the grade, it is graded by NGC.

I can't quite talk myself into calling it 67, but it's certainly a slam dunk at 66.

 

MS66

 

Yeah, eye appeal of a superior 66

 

Luster is really good, just a hard time representing it in my photos.

 

Im probably low, but the hit on the eagle stands out to me. I want to say MS65+

 

It's really well struck, not too deep, but the flowing hair and especially the shoulder feathers on the reverse. There's a nick across the back of the Eagle and a couple slights in the field and on he cheek and on the neck, but at 66 I wouldn't hesitate to send it to CAC. A 67 I think is out of reach with the nick on the reverse and the nicks in the rays.

65+ to 66. Fantastic shimmer

Very nice Peace Dollar!

 

Here's a 66 I found online (not my coin). Just for reference.

I'm at MS-60, but I always tend to grade low.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was graded at MS-63

 

I'm waffling at 65/66 if the luster is there-
So I guess I'm @ MS66
These are tougher to find in superb grades than what most people think. I can't remember the last time I seen a ms66 or higher at a show

 

I see a couple of bag marks and I'm looking at a photo so I've got to go with MS-65 but it may be a 66 in hand.

 

MS65+

65 or 65+

 

Last guesses! Giving answer at around 3pm today! You have 24 minutes!

 

I'm at 66 or better, I think she's beautiful.

 

It's funny how Peace Dollars are graded compared to Morgan's. Had this been a Morgan Dollar it would be a hands down 67 even with the hit on the reverse. With this being a Peace Dollar, I see it at a 66 and I really like it. But my gut tells me you picked this out of a tray of other's that were all similarly graded at a 65 and made a great pick. So I think the grade on the holder says 65, but it's really a 66, so off to CAC it should go to get a Gold Bean.
