Hard to tell from these photos but I'm guessing this was graded MS63.

Pics are too dark to see surface details clearly. With respect, grading from thee pics is a shot in the dark.

MS62 for me, though tough to judge that obverse

On the obverse I see weakness in the hair above the forehead, around the ear area and on the bun. This may be strike weakness as opposed to actual wear. The cheek is hard to determine if there is a break in luster over the cheek. Can you see if it carwheels without a break under the light when you rock it? On the reverse I see flatness to the wing detail near the center of the coin. This does appear to be wear rather than strike weakness. Please see my post regarding "Grading Peace dollars". Based upon these pics and my observations, I would have to call this a slider. Again, is there any break in cartwheel luster over that area of the wing? |

If I remember correctly...you showed us a start of you collection and all were 64 or 65.
I don't think you would break that cycle just because you found a 26-S...
So I'll say MS-65 with not the best pics.

P.S. I sent you a PM a while back letting you know I got some 1926 PCGS MS-65 back if you're interested.

Here is another obverse photo with more light. It's got fairly nice cartwheel.  |

I still have no defensible grade to offer.  |

tough coin to grade. obviously there is strike issues especially reverse but is any from circulation? as MisterT stated we cant tell if the luster is broke across the cheek and the center of the wing is iffy. so AU58 or MS62. i'll go with MS62 |

64 shot at 65. nice.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

PCGS gave this one a 62 which I felt was a bit low. It's super clean looking in hand. I had it around MS-64 for marks but the luster is mildly impeded so I think they dinged it a couple technical grades for a prior dip or two.

I guess the wing isn't as bad as the pictures suggest?

With respect, wasted exercise based on pics provided, none of which show the surface details of this coin.

Au58 looks like it has a little rub in the ear area.
