Agree, latest pics suggest AU-58 to low MS, perhaps 62.

Agree with Frogs latest post above me.

Alas, seems that I can finally put this topic to rest. You have all been very helpful and informative. The new images did reveal the hidden scratches and ticks as mentioned earlier.
I am quite OK with AU-58 to possibly MS-62. If I thought it might straight grade in this range, then I might consider grading. But based on suspicion expressed concerning being cleaned/dipped, I am a little hesitant now. It does cartwheel around both sides yet with a bit of distortion.
Again, thanks to all for your having a look and offering
your opinions and combined knowledge. I am a bit wiser now as a result.

I think it's better than AU. The hit on the nose is distracting and there are a lot of small marks. Luster is a bit subdued. MS-62 is a fair grade here.

That is quite reassuring Fenton, thank you.
Following the last series of photos I submitted, opinions seemed to shift a bit. My biggest concern was the opinion that this coin has been dipped/cleaned. Being as objective as I could be, I am not convinced this to be so. Those opinions were based on the original photos, yet not retracted after new images were presented. I believe this is remaining mint luster. Although it does not cartwheel like an hourglass, it does follow the2 around the coin.
I hesitate to go further if it may come back "Details".
Being into it for $50, I may pull the trigger on my first commitment to a TPG after considering so many other coins and not moving forward, using a very reputable LCS to do so after I hear their opinion, which I know is trustworthy. I would gladly trade for an equal value in bullion. I am not a collector but I am sure there is a collector out there that would be happy to have this one. As well as the 1922 D VAM-2N (R-5) I came across. I am not about to start a Peace dollar VAM collection because I have "1". Someone else wants it more than I do and that is where I want these to end up.
I figure around 10 Peace dollar culls for the one 1935 @ MS 62. I'm fine with that 10:1
Thanks again. I will let all know where it all ends up. Work makes my time in these matters limited.

We/most of us deal with also because that's how we roll too...
It's a matter of putting what is in front of us and going from there...

I'll say MS-62 with all of the photos taken into consideration.

even if it grades straight I dont think grading costs would be a wise decision. it is what it is. there us just a ton of hairlines on the coin.

I'm not seeing anything in the way of circulation but I cant rule out the possibility of a dip. was it over dipped and pull a details designation? I'm not sure but to me the surfaces just dont look 100% intact. just my opinion.

if it grades straight i'd also say MS62
