<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 437726, member: 15309&quot;]OK, here is the description provided by Heritage:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Description</b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <b>1924 $1 MS67 NGC.</b> This is an immensely interesting coin, with some of the thickest mint frost we have ever seen on a Peace dollar, clearly a fresh strike from new dies on both sides. It is also, frankly, quite softly struck, possibly the product of die-set-width experimentation before the true production run began. As a coin that is also almost completely devoid of contact marks, it is a stimulating and exceptional piece. Census: 65 in 67, 1 finer (9/08).</p><p><br /></p><p>If they are correct that the coin is the result if a die-set-width experimentation, then wouldn&#039;t that mean that either the coin is an error or a specimen piece that is deserving of the lofty MS67 grade.&nbsp; The problem is that they could never prove the coin&#039;s actual origin.&nbsp; They only have indicators such as the extremely unusual frosty luster indicating an early die state as well as the fact that the coin bears almost no discernable marks.&nbsp; I would feel much better about the grade if this pre-production die width experiment was attributed in the grade.&nbsp; Without it, I think the coin is overgraded.&nbsp; However, I still think this coin is ultra cool and wouldn&#039;t mind owning the most weakly struck MS67 coin in existence from a pedigreed collection.&nbsp; Hopefully, I can win with a low ball bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>What say you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
