MS-66
EDIT: On second thought I think the one hit on the tail feathers would limit this one to MS-65. Most of the 66's I have reviewed look pristine no marks visible to naked eye.

I don't usually grade Peace dollars but this one looks really nice and I agree with the 65 and may have a possible chance of 66 but there is no way in my opinion it would ever get a 67. I have some 67 and 68 Morgans in my collection and the few marks it does have would definitely keep it from going anything above 66. I really think if you get it graded it will come back MS-65 and it would be a real nice MS-65 that would definitely get a CAC sticker if sent to them, and may get a Gold bean from them |

I would say MS-65 would be a conservative grade on this one.....What a beautiful coin! unfortunately those tiny little scratches/dings will probably keep it from anything higher than at best an MS-66 but WOW!! I would be proud to add it to my collection anytime! Congrats on the acquisition!

Just received the coin today, but I won't be sending it out for grading. It looks like someone had wiped the obverse of the coin at one point or another. (You coin only see the hairline scratches, under a good light source. Other than that the coin looks fine) I am not sure if this is good news or bad news now, but the coin definitely would have graded at least a 65, with a very very good shot at a 66. What do you think a 1935 MS-65/66 Details Peace dollar is worth? Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

since you say you just received it, I am guessing you purchased it from someone and if its not the coin you thought (example being cleaned/wiped) I would just send it back. The details grade would kill the value of this coin and only ANACS would ever label it with a specific grade but I don't think they would give it a 65 details. I have never seen anything with a details grade that high because that grade means it is choice and any problem will keep it from that grade

Yeah, It was really disappointing to see the hairline scratches, on a coin that I really thought would be an MS-65+
I have contacted the seller about a refund.

The seller had a 7-day refund, so I will be sending the coin back. I managed to get an image of the hairlines. (Was not an easy task)  |

From that angle the harsh cleaning is quite pronounced.... Not sure how that couldn't show up on the original scan without some tweaking, altering.
Definitely send it back.

It's too bad. That coin looked very nice in the seller's pics. I was wondering if the type of light and/or the angle could mask the hairlines.

Well, I am looking at this coin right now, under a normal incandescent light bulb, and I can only see a few faint hairlines, at a certain angle. But when I look at the coin under a LED light I can see a lot more hairline scratches, at a couple of angles. Quote:

When I first received the coin and inspected it, under incandescent lighting everything looked fine. The coin had great detail, very few marks, and full luster. Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

Generally, you can only see it under certain types of lighting, and even then usually at only one angle. Direct sunlight is best. That's a true shame. |
