nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15441 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 09:09 am If it were my coin, and based on what you have stated, I would submit it after satisfying two additional items ... There is a lot of fine surface scratching visible in the photos. I would examine the surfaces closely and satisfy myself they are the result of circulation wear and not a wiping/cleaning. Circulation wear scratches generally go in random directions across the coins surface, while cleaning scratches generally are consistent in direction. Secondly ... I would closely examine the area on the reverse fields to the right side of the eagle's legs. I would satisfy myself those incuse marks are not the result of someone in the past 'tooling' the coin. Either of the two items above (cleaning and damage) would preclude certification even if the lack of a mint mark can be established. Best of wishes should you decide to make the attempt ... be advised that I have as many (perhaps more) Code 86 Peace dollars (authenticity unverifiable)from PCGS as I have PO01 examples!

Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 09:34 am I truly believe that we are looking at circulation scratches instead of cleaning scratches. As far as the marks beside the eagle's leg....I don't really know a lot about tooling. I'm not really sure if it is as a result of tooling or not. I have never submitted a coin in my life before so I guess I am going to need to try to find a coin shop in the eastern NC area that would submit it for me. Another question...does PCGS still put the coin in a slab if it gets the Code 86? or do they just return it as is? Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15441 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 09:47 am PCGS will return a Code 86 coin in a plastic flip and will not place it in a holder. The flip gets labeled 'Authenticity Unverifiable'. DAMHIKT. PCGS will holder a 'Details' coin (cleaned, damaged) with an approximate grade. The holder will state 'Genuine Not Gradable' If you run into troubles finding a dealer I'd be willing to help out a fellow CCF member and submit the coin on your behalf as part of my next submittal to PCGS.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 10:10 am There's no assurance that this coin would_not receive a righteous P01 grade; there just isn't sufficient information available from the images to confirm one way or another. I quite doubt it would, as there's too much wear where the mint mark would be to ever be sure in my opinion, but without very careful imaging and/or the coin in hand I wouldn't be certain. I saw the hairlines as well, and chances are this one's been brushed heavily (kind of doubt that blackness where the brush couldn't reach is the only place it originally was) but the same caution as above still applies. Not enough information to be sure. Peace dollars are a bear to make P01 from because of the mint mark location. Report this Post to the Staff
