Message:: [QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1964462, member: 42773"]It's a very different coin with that kind of relief, isn't it? I assembled a date set of Peace Dolalrs, many years ago, and I remember searching through hundreds of coins to find ones that had better strikes in the hair area. In many cases, I chose coins for the set because, whatever the detail, it was the best I could come across. The attached article is also quite interesting. That coin marked "3200" in India ink, as the last piece struck from failing dies is quite fascinating. And, if you've ever had any doubts about the bias TPG's exercise in the case of rare, important coins, notice that PCGS did not give this coin a details grade. MS65. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Not that it matters at this level of collecting - whoever is bidding on that coin is clearly interested in its numismatic and historical value, certainly not its eye-appeal.[/QUOTE]
