    Really? Comments are welcome?... :D
    Solid 64-ish would be right imo.

    Ah, that's a pretty one, she's put together fine. The pictures are a little dark. Provided I'm not missing wear, she's MS63-64, even with the small cuts and the one on the old schnozzola.

    I like the color. It looks nice and original to me. I voted 64, but I wouldn't be surprised to see 64+ or 65.

    Sure I'll give an approximate price after revealing the grade (likely at some point tomorrow).

    For now, you guys can guess a price as well.

    Toning doesn't appear to be natural. Unc details QC.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I'm torn between 63 and UNC details. Something feels off about the color.

    Some good guesses so far, keep them coming. The big reveal will be later tonight!

    @bsowa1029 and @physics-fan3.14 had the right idea. The toning is likely questionable, but I'm guessing it could be market acceptable after a few tries (I don't plan to resubmit).

    @heavycam.monstervam due to the grade I was able to get this for under 45

    Id crack that outta there in a heartbeat!! Tis still a nice coin!! I.woulda bought it for $45 everyone is skeptical w toned peace dollars!!Another coin (morgan) and it probably woulda straight graded... well maybe,i guess it DOES have that burnt orange color associated w AT

    Ok, so, I obviously need a lesson in detecting AT. :) What's the giveaway on this one?

    Paul this coin exhibits the 3 primary colors you will see on an AT coin: billowing shades of blue, magenta and burnt orange... if u head over to the john e cash website u will see a really good explanation AND some really nice high end toners..drool... among other useful info

    color progressions tell a lot on many questionable coins, but experience helps seeing true NT at the end of the day imo.

    peace dollars' surfaces can be lifeless sometimes, so lifeless tone doesn't automatically AT it ... but this one is, like others have said, a candidate for the crackout game (a coinflip perhaps?)

    Takes bow:cigar:

    Wait, is it still a necro if the OP re-hashes it?

    Wait, did you crack that out of a problem holder and resubmit it to ANACS to get it straight graded? C'mon man!

    Photography tip: use two lamps when photographing big coins like silver dollars.
