Looks to have some cool toning. I'd say it's AU from the pics. If it were me, I'd buy it only for "my" price. I wouldn't pay any premium.

 

It's beautiful with great eye appeal and toning. It looks MS but I don't look at many of these and am no expert.

 

Yea I believe many of these suffered from weak strikes.

I would want this to cross over into a NGC slab and just wondering if you think it'd simply grade the same since I can't actually "cross" it into a NGC slab.

I guess I'll just add the grade and see what the census is.

 

Lots of chatter in front of her face in the field. I don't see it going any higher than a 62, and I wouldn't pay to cross it over for fear of a critical 61. It's hard to see the details but it looks like they have that one about right since there's a lot of noticeable marks. The reverse is gorgeous though!

 

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't cross. My question is, does a PCGS or NGC slab make it worth enough over what it is worth in the current slab to justify the cost of doing it?

 

I think it would cross too . That said I'd wait for a nicer strike without the spots . They're out there but it takes some looking , but in the end it's well worth it . That's just me though and I haven't always followed my own advice .

 

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't cross, but I wouldn't expect it to upgrade much if at all. The 1921 is a different animal than most Peace dollars because of its high relief. These are known to suffer from weak strikes, but they are still graded on the criteria of a full strike (similar to the strike of the proof issue). High grade examples are few and far between because of this.

 

I was going to guess MS62. Strike is typical and it has marks, but you have some nice toning and probably nice luster. I would only submit this if it were part of a larger submission, since a 1-coin submission will cost you dearly when you figure round-trip shipping.

 

The weak strike, resulting in the flatness and lack of definition in the hair over and around the ear, is distracting.

 

Yet quite common for the '21.........

 

I see NO advantage to crossing it. It is an attractive coin, appropriately graded. Why crack it out-- it might not cross. The coin is attractive, with tons of eye appeal. However, no guarantee on a cross- so why bother????

 

Agree and unfortunately so. Here's my very similar NGC 62

 

NGC type set.

I might just get a pcgs membership just to be able to cross my anacs coins.

 

I would leave it in the ANACS slab.

 

Things sure have changed in what's considered "eye appeal". That toning (if that's what it is) in the field to the left of Liberty looks like scratches from a cleaning gone wrong. If it's toning, in the old days we'd dip it and pray it would re-tone better next time around. I'd pass on that coin, if you haven't already bought it.

Sorry to sound harsh, just my opinion there are plenty of better ones out there.

 

Here's a Detailed AU piece , Heritage has some better struck 65s . I just wanted to show you can find some with better strikes in AU up .

 

But peril the details slab Rusty. Most of us shy away........

 

And rightly so in a lot of reasons , though I was just using it as and example of a better struck coin , especially the reverse .
