<p>[QUOTE="timewaster1700, post: 3458886, member: 101305"]So I recently acquired a couple raw peace dollars, a 1926-P and a 1924-S. I'm trying to determine if these coins are worth sending in to PCGS. I was hoping to get some more seasoned eyes on these to see if the coins have any danger of making AU instead of MS.

Here are a couple videos I took to try to show these coins and their details: 1926: [MEDIA=youtube]EQfdOsL_LjE[/MEDIA] 1924-S: [MEDIA=youtube]Cwl83RFaqqg[/MEDIA] For the 1926, it has a layer of toning on it (almost like dust or something) and that may be impairing the brilliance of the luster.
