    Spider I removed the duplicate post on the Morgans - it really doesn't do any good to post the same thing twice.

    And I'll be more than happy to help you out grading these Peace dollars too - same as the Morgans. But again - in order to help you learn and so that you can understand my comments as they come later - I would like to ask you what your opinion is regarding the grades - and why - before I give you mine.

    ...how about a 1A.
    This auction has a very close-up photo. Just remember it's in mint state.

    I'll agree with you on the '23 - but a VF30 I'd say. The wear on the high points seems to be even and similar on both obverse & reverse. Nice find on the VAM by the way ;)

    As for the '22 - I might be tempted to call it Unc as I don't see any apparent breaks in the luster on the high points. The reverse pic is blurry, but if it is similar to the obverse regarding luster - then I'd say it is Unc.

    Since you have the coin in hand - you tell us. A break in the luster will appear as darker grey color. Do you see any ? And don't be fooled by the toning. The coin appears to have natural silver toning which can lead some to thinking the luster is not there. But gently and slowly turn the coin under a light kind of rolling towards you and away from you. You should still be able to see the luster under the toning - but it will appear more subdued than on untoned areas like it is around the Y.

    The Peace dollars just kill me! The text always seems SO flat...even on the really nice ones.
