Message:: [QUOTE="Tamaracian, post: 2048991, member: 23122"]Andy, are you located outside the US?  if not, your shipping should be much less (shipping to South Florida for me is $2.05).  As for the coin, it has IMO rather nice toning that is very similar on both sides which is not always the case with Peace Dollars (except for the typical goldish toning).  As others have pointed out, the 1922 is the highest mintage and the most commonly found in mid-MS grades.  That coin has a few bag/reeding marks in the prime focal areas and that is why it is not graded higher, however, I think that overall it is quite attractive as a toned example.  The older ANACS Slabs are sometimes sought out by collectors--similar to NGC and PCGS Black and OGH--because it is felt (by some) that the TPGs graded more conservatively back then; the original ANACS graders tended to arrive at more of a technical grade based upon PRESERVATION/STRIKE/LUSTER/Eye Appeal rather than Market Grading. If you like the coin because of its toning, then just be aware that you will not realize any profit if you have it regraded unless it were to achieve MS-65, and that is highly unlikely.[/QUOTE]
