Message:: [QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 459899, member: 15309"]Here comes the slab.  This coin is currently in auction in the Heritage Final Session which is internet only (no floor bidding).  That is important because everyone will have to grade the coin using the photos provided.  It is extremely rare that I find a blast white coin that grabs me, but this one has done it.  Doug is correct that the coin is deceptive because the abrasions on the coin preclude it from the higher grade, but the coin is outstanding in appearance because they are not in focal areas and can be easily overlooked.  Additionally, the coin appears to have fantastic luster based on my experience with overexposed Heritage photos.  My concern is that other bidders may think the coin is undergraded and place a premium bid to the assigned grade.  Based on the number of people here that also think the coin is undergraded, I am hoping to gain knowledge of how much of a premium this coin might drive.  I know that Doug thinks the coin is a solid MS65 in a 66 holder, but based on my experience with NGC and PCGS Peace Dollars, this is a solid 66 that appears to be a 67.  I am not about to pay 67 money for this coin and want to pay as small a premium as I can on the 66 money to obtain it.  Normally, I don't really have to worry about the assigned grade because I am paying a premium for the toning.  With this coin, I must pay attention to the grade because there is no toning to drive a premium even though this coin is supremely eye appealing IMO. <img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Peace%20Dollars/PeaceDollar1925NGCMS66ObverseHolder.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> BTW.  Don't even think about out bidding me.:loud:[/QUOTE]
