Peace dollars are one of the most difficult coins to grade, JMHO. Even in mint state, they just look blah.

Need a reverse photos, agreed that some more light on the coin would help.
In mint state that is a key date, in average circulated state its a common coin - so accurate photos with this one make a difference.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Even though the pics are a little dark...I'm not seeing any major hits to the neck/cheek/nose. The rays look good... The spot mentioned by the lower hair curl near the neck needs attention...over all a very nice looking key date. Without the reverse it's hard to through a grade on her, but if it's as nice as the obverse...mid-MS. With all the coins mentioned for this collection...curious why you choose this ONE? If they all look about the same comdition...that's quiet a nice little set! Hope you follow up and let us know if you're able to make an offer and they accept it. Peace dollars don't look blah to me...They're my favorites...jmho smat |

Like I said the pictures are not the best. I've been waiting for my friend to make the decision to sell for 8 years & was excited they finally did. Guess I jumped the gun by posting with bad pics.
In hand the green spot was a dark colored dot. It showed up as green in the picture. Not sure why some people are able to see the obverse & not reverse....I posted both.

I only see two obverse images as well. Maybe both file names are the same?

If that does not work, get some Verdi Care to soak the coin. I'm not an expert on verdicare but I thought it was only for copper? |

This is the advertisement for Verdi Care on Wizard Coin Supply: VERDI-CARE™ is designed to work on all metal coin surfaces: gold, silver, copper, brass, etc. No more trial and error, no more guesswork, no more worries. VERDI-CARE™ is safe, gentle and effective as a surface debris remover. VERDI-CARE™ allows collectors to conserve their coins and not strip them clean of luster and original patina. There is a big difference between conservation and cleaning. With VERDI-CARE™ you can be sure not to cross that line due to its safe and gentle nature. Your coins will be conserved, not cleaned. Problems like light surface residue, verdigris and corrosion can now be addressed without resorting to expensive, third-party conservation services.
I used it on Buffs with the green crud and got excellent results. I have not used it on silver. If the coin had the green crud, I would have no problem using Verdi Care.

Well, only one side but the patina looks fantastic and doesn't look banged up. The spot is a small concern - be careful you don't disturb the stunning surfaces addressing it.
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."

This one also went to ANACS. I paid extra for conservation on the lot because I had a few coins that needed it. They just posted order details on the website & it straight graded at MS63.

Here's some relatively bad pictures after being slabbed. Dark areas in the center of the pictures is a reflection of the camera lens. The dot is still on the obverse but it's now black as opposed to green. The haze that covered the coin is now gone. These pictures don't do the coin justice.   |

I wonder what they do to "conserve" the coin.
I'm willing to bet they will for sure straight grade it after their work, but if others had done it, sent it in for grading and they noticed any remnants they would details the coin.
