I'm thinking this one will be pretty lustrous in hand

I love how the luster pours off the coin. I like it a lot, and I think the coin deserved the plus. By any chance, do you know if there is a reason that the seller partially obscured the grade on the holder in his images?

Thanks guys!

Seriously. I feel pretty good about this one.

I purchased a PCGS MS60 green toned Peace dollar last week and I was panned pretty good.

Some said I was totally rodgered.

Perhaps this one will make up for that (although I don't have the MS60 in hand yet).

Pat,

 

One of the things I like about you is that you have balls and aren't afraid to lay them out there for the mallet ;)

 

You take chances and sometimes win, sometimes not, but I never ever hear you complain. You take responsibility for your actions and I hope you score.

 

The coin does look full of luster and I think it will have that inhand as well.

 

To the above question about why the grade is partially obsured, I don't think the seller did it on purpose, rather, that is how he positioned the lighting and wanted to show the full BOOM of luster and figured having the picture show the grade wasn't as important.

 

Not everyone takes a ton of time for coin photos, nor may know how to. Sometimes, in doing just a quick picture or two, the photographer has to decide on how much time is worth it and which trait of the coin one wants to highlight.

Coin doctor -- it is dipped...

 

 

but I like it.

 

Not necessarily; Peace Dollars were heavily saved (or at least that is my understanding) so it is possible that examples have been stored in dry conditions and kept away from paper or other materials notorious for causing toning. I do believe that there are 89 year old coins that are blast white and not dipped.

Are you calling me a Coin Doctor?! (tsk)

 

Maybe the PNG needs to expand their definition.

I would expect a 65+ to have blazing luster. Its part of the grading criteria, and one more heavily weighted than it often should be. The luster on this coin probably bumped it up a half point or so into the "+" category.
