What effect will this wack on the neck of a 1921 Peace Dollar have on grade?

I was thinking of sending this into PGSG but i have been concerned abt the scratch on the neck (obverse).

I'm needing this to come in in MS 62-63 but i'm concerned abt that one aspect.

Any help would be appreciated.

Its going to be a close call between AU and MS

 

Being a key date I don't think it will details.
I disagree with the above. If a coin is MS it will still MS even with certain hits,
but it will just go lower 61-62.
If a coin shows slight wear it will AU and the hit won't lower an MS coin to AU.
There is a lot of chatter in the hair (low by the ear).
If the photos are a true representation, it might be an MS-62.
But who knows these days. They want resubmissions so they tag it details for the
hickey and then you have to shell out for another opinion.

 

I don’t think it’s close at all. This coin has seen a little circulations. My opinion.

 

I think that you should get at least an MS-63. The coin would be an easy MS-64 if it didn’t have that mark.

You have to be careful about downgrading this coin for the lack of hair detail in the center. It is almost always weakly struck in that area.

 

well, it seems to common consensus (as is always w grading) is varied, even further than i internally thought. 'll send it out and report back. My collection is ME 62 or higher so, if it does but at least MS62 i'll have to buy one. I believe there is a sales auction of coin talk, maybe i can find one there to avoid the astronomical Ebay fees.

You guys going to be interested in the PCSG grade when it comes back?

 

I been following the thread. I would absolutely like to see the grade when you get it back.

 

NGC graded this one MS-65. It is over graded; it's one of my goofed up purchases, but it's easily an MS-64. Compare it with the OP.



Here is a ful struck example, which is quite rare in my opinion. I down loaded this photo years ago from the PCGS site. The coin is only grded MS-62, so there must be something else going on with it. Finding this level of detail on a 1921 Peace Dollar is really hard.

 

The second piece has been cleaned, hence the downgrade. The super strike kept it from getting a details notation.

 

Have you even seen one as sharp as that? I haven't. I'd buy that even if it was cleaned, depending on the price, of course.

 

No. It is amazing. Roger Burdette needs to see a pic. Probably a very early strike before they lowered the striking pressure.
I have a PCGS MS65 CAC that is struck up, but nothing like this.
It may be a 62, but it would bring 66 money or more.

 

Did you get a grade back on your coin, @Justawesome?

 

Based on the OP photo, I'm guessing AU58. Fingers crossed that yours comes back higher.

I bought a blind roll of Peace dollars off of eBay and got all 1921 or 1922 high MS. I didn't think these were particularly rare in mint state. Am I wrong about that?

 

'21 Peace $ from a roll?!!!

 

If by MS, you mean at least MS-60, then, no. If you mean “nice MS,” then a really nice 21 is hard to come by, but 22 is still a common date.

 

This was in someone's silver stash, supposedly stored away since ~1964. I bought it off eBay, and had a stromg suspicion that the ends of the roll would be the only high grade pieces. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were probably the lowest grade of the bunch.

The "unboxing" video is a bit too large to share, but here are some screenshots:

 

Why does it seem that the obverse always takes a beating, while the reverse looks a grade or two better?

 

Above eye is hit also

 

Not MS. i see wear on both sides. Au 58 is my guess

 

Definitely want to see the grade when you get it back. For your sake I hope it comes back MS 62 or better.
