[QUOTE="rld14, post: 479766, member: 16133"]I skimmed the topic as well. I assume we're talking about the ICG MS65 coin? Seeing as you usually go by numismedia wholesale and this guy is in an ICG holder, $96 ought to buy that coin, but it's clean enough that $130 wouldn't shock me. Still, I think the holder holds it back. I think the coin has really nice luster and it looks "fresh" which I personally like, but you know how you get all stoked over toning? I get like that with strikes. This is why I made the genius move to collect SLQs.. ain't I be smart? Still, I'm torn over this coin. From what little I know of Peace Dollars, it's an exceptionally clean piece, but the strike is weak. See, it doesn't have that usual Peace Dollar toning that I detest which is nice, but the devil on my shoulder is saying two things.. 1) A 1924-P Peace Dollar is about as rare as a lying politician. 2) In digging through Heritage's archives, you can get an MS65 for cheap money too, it's the 66s that are a tad spendy and the 67s bring $insane. Still, under $100 might be low. 3) If this comes back from NGC or PCGS in a 64 Holder you are the proud owner of a $50 coin. This one I liked, $138, PCGS Slab, much better strike.
