Grade this 1924-S Peace dollar if you feel like it. (Grade bought as posted).

This is a raw '24-S I got over a year ago. The images are by Bob Campbell and I think he did a very nice job. The one thing that did surprise me from the image is the looping scratch going from Liberty's nose to the top of her neck. The light angle must have hit that just right because I never noticed that scratch before, and even focusing on that area in hand it is dang near impossible to see that scratch. For all intents and purposes you cannot see it. My best guess is that the coin is album toned. So, what would you grade the coin? Thanks. I'll post what I bought it as sometime between 3-6 pm (CA. time) this evening.

I will say AU-55 to AU-58. Nice coin!

Difficult to gauge the luster from that photo. But I will say AU-50.

I would say AU55, and wouldn't be so concerned with the obverse scratch but with the damage on the lower tail feathers and is that a counterstamp 66 on the central wing area? Maybe just because of being enlarged everything shows.

MS 63/64 Its well struck and clean for a San Fran example. Cool rainbow. I think you are right with the album toning.

Thank you for all the responses. I bought this as an XF-40+ in 2005 for $30, which I though was a real good price for this coin. Personally I'd grade it 45-50ish.

 

 

EDITED TO ADD: Jesbroken, that's a rimroll at the central portion of the wing.

Nice AU.
