<p>[QUOTE="jolumoga, post: 1821607, member: 41780"]Yes, I will be honest and admit I thought it might be in the low MS range, not because I necessarily believe it is mint state, but because the coin looks at least as good as many coins routinely placed at 61 or 62 by TPGs. Plus, I have seen so many examples of fingerprints getting practically disregarded by TPGs to allow them to influence my judgment too much. Plus, there has been discussion, and I agree with it, that TPGs are now routinely classifying many higher-grade AU coins as MS61. </p><p> </p><p>I appreciate the feedback from all, though. I want to be clear that I am not mad that some here said that my coin might be AU50 or AU55. It just seems that, compared to Morgan dollars, Peace dollars tend to be given more slack in grading. In hindsight, I should not have mentioned what I paid for it, as that may color the judgment of some. Again, I appreciate the feedback from those who differ from my opinion![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
