I think it's just crappy images with the WB way off.

Just take a magnet to it and see. These commonly have mushy details, so that doesn't concern me.

The color looks okay to me and light strikes are common on Peace dollars. The only thing that gives me pause is a (apparently) uncirculated Peace dollar selling for $17 on ebay. Was the shipping $5+? It looks like a good deal. |

No, the shipping was 3.99. I contacted the seller (he's not a coin dealer) and he said he's had the coin for a long time and believes it's real. He offered a refund or said he would stand behind the coin.
I'll post better photos when it arrives as I will want an idea on grade.
Thanks again

Look more like a slider AU to me.

It has damage on the eagle which may be why it was selling cheap. Look at the eagle and notice two big cuts in it. I saw a fake 1916-D Mercury dime today that my LCS dealer showed me to illustrate the point that when an expensive coin is selling cheap ($1600) it is a red flag. No matter what anyone else may say it is "buyer beware" and it is your money at stake. |

You're right Terry 100% but I also know I have bought items on ebay that turned out to not be authentic and in every case after opening a case with ebay or in one case paypal I received a refund including shipping. The only thing I was out was my time. Quote:

Those are normal bag handling marks and in no way make the coin ungradable. Remember this is a $25 coin if it's BU so $21 delivered isn't extraordinary. |

You can believe what you want, but I don't think those are bag marks. I have mint grade Morgans with the usual bag marks and they look nothing like those on this Peace dollar. I think the coin is real but it is what it is damage and all. |

I see nothing wrong with it. Circulated and/or cleaned, yes. But legit.
