Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 162670, member: 112"]A word of friendly advice about coin pics - when you crop them, do so in such a manner that all of the coin is visible in the pic. Don't cut off any edges. To me, one of the biggest limiting factors for this coin are the rims. There are several rim dings, but that one above the R on the obverse is so severe that the coin might be considered damaged and ungradeable. But when it comes to damage something like that could go either way, so for the sake of argument I will assume the coin is gradeable. There are a couple of other severe hits on the coin, most noticeably on the neck and smaller hits on the chin and in front of the face. The reverse has a couple of small hits as well. Quality of strike is not the best on this coin, of course Peace dollars are known for that. But the '24 is generally found well struck. This coin is not really, the strike is so weak in fact that even the rim is not fully formed. On the reverse, by CA, the rim almost blends with the field. The same is true of the same area on the obverse. The coin does have good luster and generally good eye appeal. But the factors above would outweigh these strong points and in my opinion limit the grade to MS63.[/QUOTE]
