Help with this 1928 Peace Dollar

Was just about to write a comment regarding the previous comment of it being an "MS 66/67", and I saw that someone had already informed the writer of how outragously overgraded an MS67 is for that exact 1928 Peace Dollar. I'm glad to hear you can designate a grade of "MS" Mr. jcakcoin, but for this coin to even come close to a grade of "MS67", It would basically have to have been struck yesterday and gone straight into a coin protector of some sort.

Just saw the results online. AU details improperly cleaned..umm. Here is the link

So, are they trying to say it was improperly cleaned before conservation? I would have hoped that they would catch that and contact the submitter before proceeding.

 

I don't think the coin was cleaned prior to me sending it to NCS. Guess the only way to get those spots off was to do some sort of cleaning method. I really am not sure.

 

Sorry you wasted your $ Flyer. Your 28 is a nice coin, most pre 1970 coins have been cleaned along the way.

 

Thanks. Coins should have more eye appeal now at least. Probably about a wash on the money side of things. I will take a picture of it when it arrives and will post.

 

I'd definately go with NCS , it's a beauty and a dipping could ruin the luster . Acetone couldn't hurt . But would do nothing if it's in the metal . Is that some irredesent toning I'm seeing .

Hi Rusty-
I did send it to NCS already and just got the results. AU details improperly cleaned. I don't think it was cleaned prior to me sending to them. Guess those black spots were in the metal. Please see this link for the picture they provide. I haven't got it back yet.

If i twas gradable before you sent it in I'd be a little p----d that they would clean it so it wasn't gradeable . They should of asked you prior to cleaning the coin . Hopefully when you get it in hand it will still have all the luster . It's still a desireable coin .

Yeah i'm not very happy. Was hoping to not get a details grade. I will post a picture when I get it back.

 

Man, that sucks! It's a nice coin to have though in any grade.

 

Normally NCS won't send it on to NGC if they don't think it will grade. So if NGC saw it NCS thought it would grade, and NGC thinks NCS improperly cleaned it. Probably didn't realize it had been worked on by NCS and they assumed someone else had worked on it.

 

Well it certainly does look better.

 

I agree also. Much easier to see now. NCS did what they could and did it quite well. I can't complain.

 

My eyes are getting bad . I still can't see the lines in the original pics , but can see them in the new pics . The toning must of been hiding them a little . Wish I had your eyes Doug . Guess it's time to see the eye doc . LOL
