Several prominent hits on the eagle but I don't see any on the obverse. Toning isn't very attractive to my eye and it makes it hard to judge surface quality. PCGS might like it and give it a bump for positive eye appeal.
I'd guess MS-64.

What grade would a bright young man like yourself buy of one of the most common Peace dollars minted?  challenging call when you included Quote:
I really dig this type of toning and got it at a pretty solid price. Do I see some hits above the eyebrow and on cheek along with one in the field halfway to the rim in line with her nose? Reverse hits are clearly stated above. I'll go with MS-65 and wondering if there is a  on the label for the toning  |

I'm thinking it's MS65, but I'm not a fan of the splotchy toning. To each their own.  Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

The TPGs are being tougher on Peace dollars than they were 4-5 years ago, but nothing like they were 10-12 years ago. Your coin's obverse has a few scratches and dings. There is a long scratch from just below the lips to the hair, a scratch to the left of the nose, a series of small scratches above the eyebrow, another from the nose to the hair, and some knocks in the hair bun left of the "Y." These aren't heavy contacts, but they are in visible places. A couple years ago, these would have been shrugged off a bit, but all three TPGs seem to weigh them more heavily now. IMHO, the obverse would land on the MS-62/63 bubble today. The reverse has a few knocks on the eagle's right wing and one on the right leg. There is something going on near the rim around 10-11 o'clock, but I can't quite make it out. The location of the dings is a bit tougher on the reverse. To my eyes, the TPGs would hold the reverse to MS-63, maybe 62 depending on the issue near the rim. Overall, I could see your coin landing either in an MS-62 or MS-63 slab today. Four or five years ago, this would have graded a notch higher. That said, PCGS likes toning, and that could also affect how they saw the coin. |

I agree with FC. See this as a MS-62 with a toning bump to MS-63.

I can't seem to grade these from a static photo, a coin with this much deep toning I need in hand to rotate under a good light source, that said I'm in agreement with fortcollins on it, a Solid MS62 today could push a MS63, a few years ago an easy MS64 or even higher.

I'm at 64 here. Love the color but makes it hard to grade from a photo.
