<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1802097, member: 15309&quot;]Greg,</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you should be shooting for a problem free holder rather than a star designation.&nbsp; A few years ago, I attempted to assemble a toned Peace Dollar registry set.&nbsp; The venture was a complete failure as my set ended up being a collection of mottled monochromatic coins with just a couple that actually had rainbow toning.&nbsp; In all my time searching for NGC/PCGS graded Peace Dollars, I never found one with that powder blue/lilac color on the reverse of your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not saying that your coin is AT, but I promise you that after David Hall&#039;s hyperbolic comments, the graders at both services are very tough on any Peace Dollar with rainbow color.&nbsp; Could that patina on your coin have been caused by years in a coin album?&nbsp; Sure!&nbsp; Will the graders at NGC see it that way?&nbsp; I just don&#039;t know man.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, NGC has a very strict rule for the star designation.&nbsp; The toning must create exceptional eye appeal and there can be no areas where the toning approaches black.&nbsp; The obverse periphery of your coin approaches charcoal/black and would pretty much eliminate any chance at a star designation IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
