I'm gonna go with 65 too. Even with a few abrasion, the strike looks solid. My guess is that the luster is extremely flashy in hand, and is the main element carrying the grade of the coin to MS-65. Beautiful Coin!!!

All things considered, I feel the Reverse is struck much crisper than the Obverse, I see plenty of original luster, I do not know if it is the strike on the Obverse or wear or both (hard to judge from pictures. I do not like the word Liberty, especially the letter B, I know companies do not grade the Obv 1 grade and the Rev another, (they should) but over all I would grade this coin an MS61+...Mike Just my opinion.

A few comments from Q. David Bowers on 1921 Peace dollars: "All were struck from high relief dies. However, 99% or more are lightly struck on the hair strands at the center of the obverse and the body of the eagle on the reverse. This is par for the course, expect this." Just bought it yesterday from these images and will post my own when it arrives. Thanks for all the guesses!  |

I found my coin in Heritage Auction archives! It just sold about a month ago to the dealer I bought it from (I assume he bought it). The Heritage pics are better than his! Here they are.... By the way, he made almost 10% profit in a month! C'est la vie!   |

Amazing coin! I'm not too into Peace dollars but I think later on I'll try to purchase an MS 1921 since I've heard the High Relief version is really amazing, much more eye appealing than their low relief counterparts. Do you agree? Edited by wheatguy

Color me unsurprised, especially viewing the Heritage pics. That's on the upper end of 65. You got a good one.  |

Thanks for the complements! Quote:

I took a good hard look at the original full-size auction pics, and have to reluctantly conclude that they got the grade right. It's just a tad softly-struck, and the reverse has just a little bit too much going on to comfortably raise it to 66. The fact that you have to look at full-size, high-resolution pics to see this stuff says a lot about the coin, though. It's near the top of 65.

I do plan to send it to CAC. Seems a lock for a green sticker. Will consider the "+" option at PCGS though, because it should have a chance at that, but I agree with SuperDave that it is not an honest 66. If anyone's interested the dealer is Larry Shapiro: http://www.lsrarecoins.com/He does have a nicely toned PCGS MS67 1921 Peace for sale but it was a touch out of my price range: http://www.lsrarecoins.com/coindeta...spx?coid=219 |

It looks like wear in the hair on the obverse bhut the reverse no wear and good luster.
This leads me to think the wear may be weak strike.
MS-64
