<p>[QUOTE="zaneman, post: 489711, member: 3970"]It depends on a lot of factors how the TPG's will grade it. For example, is it a 1924? If yes they are going to let a little more striking weakness slide than say a 1922, despite the fact that some 1924's come strongly struck. They are typically super strict on some of the S mints as far as striking weakness and what is acceptable for a 65 (for example 1928-s). They also tend to be stricter on granting gem status to 1927-p peace dollars. It more or less varies by date and mintmark. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'd grade the coins as follows:</p><p>1. 65</p><p>2. 64+ I could even see this coin as high as 66 if the marks on the cheek arent quite as pronounced as they appear in the photo, and also if the stained looking area on the obverse that goes from the rim up through God is lighter than it appears to be. </p><p>3. 66</p><p>4. 65.
