Thanks V, I will

Thank you!

Thank you very much Quintus for your honest opinion. I empathize with your situation as well. I understand completely about subjectivity.... I'm not sure what looks like wear could actually NOT be wear because it's high relief and the die couldn't sit right. I'm somewhat familiar with dies and casts. It makes more sense to me that if anything, the high point would be more profound with deeper hair lines than the lower points on the coin. One or 2 people suggested that the higher points would be weaker. That snyopsus just doesn't make one bit of sense to me! Mind you, I'm new to this, thus the question, but I'm certainly not that ignorant either. Thanks again Conrad

I am new to having coins graded so please bare with my ignorance. I have only sent one 10 coin batch in, all morgan or peace dollars. So, my question is when I send in my 2020 uncirculated (burnished) do I need to request the that designation or will they put this designation on the label regardless? Thanks, Conrad.

Here ya go Bob, I thought this would be very obvious with the obverse picture. The 65+ you can see it clearly has no hair line detail! Wear on the reverse as well. When I think 65+ along with the established protocol for this grade on the older coins, I'm thinking this should have far more detail all around. To me it's obvious, apparently to others, not so much. Not my coin, not my problem, having said that, I still believe it be a really BAD example of a 65+ coin, I agree with JKK on his observation of V to VF

Thanks Modwriter, I have others that I have sent in, NGC will always mention it on the graded label if they've been cleaned.

kbbpll "It's authentic - the same coin is in cert lookup images. I can't grade heavily toned coins from images and I imagine it's difficult even in-hand. My understanding is that toning/tarnish, no matter how ugly it is, doesn't, or shouldn't, affect the technical grade. Yours may have a better strike and eye appeal (subjective), but it's clearly AU." I did look it up, so I see the NGC grade. My question is, Why, would a coin with so much obvious wear be graded MS 65+? I could care less about tarnish etc.... I've seen much worse tarishing and the coin grade is fine, but this one here boggles the mind.

Eye appeal? Doesn't have any eye appeal.....well, to me. And the guy wants $2450 for it.

I understand, even though I'm kinda new to serious collecting, that coin grading is subjective. I was looking on ebay for a 1921 Peace Dollar. I ran across this coin (pictured), and I am wondering how this is an MS 65+. I just had a few Peace dollars graded and my 1928 came back graded as a AU 55 with far more detail than this 1921 MS-65+? My coin reference for the subject coin is 5895487-001. I'm not upset, but I am very curious. Thanks for your input; Frank
