newp 1922-s peace dollar

[zboyle04]

this is currently in a problem free NGC holder. it looks better than what i expected and am wondering what grade you guys would assign. for the date it has an awesome strike, blast white, with really flashy luster, especially the reverse, very different looking thats for sure. It doesn't cartwheel as much just very bright, sort of reflective.

too white looks dipped guess MS63 maybe 64

[FishyOne]

Nice looking coin. MS64.

[AnkurJ]

It wouldn't surprise me to see it in a MS65 holder, but I think MS64 is the proper grade for the coin. Very pretty and flashy!

[mumu]

Awesome strike on both sides. Not just for an S but any strike. The feathers on the eagle are absolutely perfectly layered and seperated.

[brg5658]

MS64, shot MS65. I have seen poorer quality coins in MS65 holders.

[Royal Color-migration]

64

[James_OldeTowne]

I have a bunch of these in PCGS MS-64+ holders, and your coin looks like a clone.

 

MS-64+

Ms 64 The nick in the right obverse field held it back from anything higher .

[SWNGC]

Decent 64, No to 65

If the 2 bad hits weren't so deep I'd like it even more than I already do. Nice looking coin, 4+

[Coinbuf]

I'm also in the 64 camp, the heavy obv field hit limits the grade for me.

[zboyle04]

i have seen several peace dollars with similar markings as seen in the obverse top right, is it maybe from the die? it doesnt look like may bag marks i have seen

[Mary B]

64+ the obverse mark really takes away what would be a 65+

[zboyle04]

well it is currently a 64, but it has excellent eye appeal, truly a fantastic coin, i have a lot of certified peace dollars, maybe hundreds, and this is something special, its too bad my pics don't show how awesome it really is. i have plenty of 65s that look worse than this. The cheek and neck are clean, the fields to the left of liberty and below are clean. the reverse is easy 65, maybe better. i am just wondering about the mark on the upper right area, is that considered a prime focal area? to me it doesnt look like a bag mark, it looks like a die issue as i have seen those types of marks before.

Forget about those concerns and concentrate on whether the mark you're referencing is prominent enough to be considered distracting. I think it is. I also think that coin had been dipped at some point. Now, don't get all shook up. I'm not suggesting it's not marketable. But, look at how pristine it is, and it only gets a MS64? What's that about?

 

Factor in the hits above the eyelid, too, and I think that suffices to explain that market grade.

 

PS: Hey, JMHO.

[jerseycat10]

Are you referring to the 'reed' mark in between liberty's hair and the 'Y' in liberty?

 

I think the coin looks solid for 64, but the pictures aren't good enough to determine upgrade potential. Does look thoroughly dipped though.

Yes, that's the mark that stands out, jerseycat10.

yes, is that what it is referred to? is it a mark from the dies?

[Kurtdog]

Not from the die, from the edge of another reeded-edged coin.

[coinman_23885]

64+, the chatter in the field and the reed mark preclude a gem grade for me personally although I have seen inferior coins in 65 holders.

[morganguru]

I'm totally split between 64 n 65. Nice white Peace dollar my friend
