As always, hard to tell from pictures, but it looks to me like there are obverse dings in the tiara between I & B, in the hair above the eye, behind the tiara between the tiara and the bun, and in the lower hair above the flowing hair, but nothing that distracting.
On the reverse, looks like there are dings in B of pluribus, right in the middle on the eagles feathers, and in the rays to the left of eagle, but again nothing that is super distracting.
It's a great looking coin. I'll go with MS65.

As well struck as you can find any Peace dollar .... lovely coin with honest surfaces (based on the photos provided). I'm going MS66 ... Whatever the TPG opinion ... lovely coin indeed. |

Good Morning All and thanks very much for your high grades.
I had PCGS conserve this beautiful coin and grade it as it was my grandfathers and he gave it to me to start my collection when I was 9 years old.
PCGS graded this out at AU58. I think the dings and gouges absolutely did it, But it's still a real beauty to me.

AU-58?  I was thinking 65+ at least! |

WOW! EVERYONE was way off on this one. Shows the difficulty in grading from photos, and PCGS TrueView photos are VERY good.
Do you have a photo of what it looked like before conservation? It looks like they did a really great job with that, but need to see a before photo to be sure.

With that luster and strike, that's got to be the nicest 58 I've seen. Unless PCGS dropped the ball, that just shows the limitations of grading by photo alone.

Before The conservation the coin just looked flat with some light beige toning starting, not attractive at all.
If anyone is interested, I can send the full resolution picture to you so you can have a good look at the coin close up and see why it garnered a 58.
Just let me know.:)

Well, they certainly did a fine job at conserving this to the point of hiding the slight circulation wear....

That is certainly a spectacular conservation job. Based on the pic you showed I would bet all day long on the MS grades that were suggested. WOW stunning coin. I would like to see the before photo.
