1934 Peace Dollar need opinions, please

[dan3e]

Hello,

I have 2 1934 peace dollars that I'm looking at and I'm having a hard time deciding which one has the best eye appeal/quality. Please let me know what you think? Thanks, Dan

I don't like that brown stuff on the back of the PCGS coin. Looks like dip residue.

 

1934 is one of the well-produced issues in the series. It's pretty much hard to go wrong with a higher MS example of the date.

I noticed that haze too, thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it! Sincerely, Dan

i like the obv of PCGS coin a little more than the obv of the ngc coin. But the brown hazing on the rev of the pcgs coin is pretty ugly, i would go with the ngc coin, besides it has the better holder

The PCGS one appears to be better struck, but the brown haze is an immediate turn-off.

both are ms 64 and yes the pcgs coin might be ever so slightly better in strike and might be closer to ms 65

 

but both coins are solid ms 64

 

but the environmental damage on the pcgs coin precludes me even considering such a coin as it is a HUGE NEGATIVE

 

and it might even get worse!!

 

the ngc coin is again a nice ms 64 and with above average eye appeal

 

no brainer the ngc coin in my opinion

 

 

with the pcgs coin i dont know what is on the coin it could be good bad, neutral from a residue standpoint and it might?? get worse??

after time

 

 

but the eye appeal is definately below average

 

 

[michael]

as an added bonus

 

i like the crystal clear plastic on the ngc holder

 

and................

 

being able to see the rims to see if there are any huge marks or damage

Or, look for a better one? I too like the obverse of the PCGS coin. The NCG coin, to me, looks washed out, like it's been overdipped. It's a pretty common issue in the grade you're looking for, why not wait and get the right coin instead of rushing into a coin that you'll soon want to upgrade.

I agree with you, good advice, Thank you, Sincerely Dan

[dan3e]

I agree, thanks, Dan

[dan3e]

I agree, The N.G.C. is a solid Ms64 with nice eye appeal. thanks, Dan

[djdilliodon]

The ngc coin i would pick but i would still continue to look for a better example just my .02.

[dan3e]

I agree with you, I like the N.G.C. Coin but only if the price is right, otherwise I will be patient and keep looking. Thank you for the taking the time to give me your opinion and advice. I really appreciate it! This forum is great! Sincerely, Dan

It's all on personal preference.

 

While the PCGS slabbed coin has some nice toning on it, the NGC coin has strong luster.

 

My personal choice is the PCGS because of the toning on it.
