Hey gang , been alil since I've posted a coin for grading - Just got this from my local shop for 47$ So I'm happy with it - My guess , I think it could hit MS64 - and in my dream I thought it was a MS66 But dreams dont last long being , there is dings I saw with a Loop ... So .. MS-64 is where I stood but curious of your opinions as I'm still new to the grading aspect - Thanks for any and all Opinions and Information shared on this one -- Shes my second Peace dollar (mainly a Morgan dollar addict but couldnt pass this by for the price and eye appeal it had on me) The Obverse of my NEW 1922-Peace dollar  The Reverse of my NEW 1922 Peace dollar  |

I think I'd go MS62 maybe reach to a MS63 on this one, there are a lot of small ticks and dings I'm seeing. The water spots are also fairly common on Peace dollars from improperly washed planchets, to make MS66 there should be almost no noticable ticks or hits and only the remenants of any planchet washing. Heck one at $5.00 you can't go wrong, even 20 years ago!  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

I'd give the obverse 63 and the rev could go 64 - and that is a heckuva buy for $5! Nicely done.

Thanks guys Really appreciate the input as I'm still learning the curve for grading . Anything any of you could point out to me for grading a Peace dollar ? The strikes to me seem to be weaker on the reverse . is that normal ? (and other things as in , which areas are like main focal points on the obverse and reverse . I understand the morgans but havnt worked much with Peace dollars and really want to learn these alil at a time) . Im waiting on my ANA standards for grading book to come in the mail . along with my VAM bible ... *encyclopedia of morgan and Peace dollars should be here this coming week I hope*.. Thanks again guys , this 1922 I paid 47$ .. the 1924 I got a few years ago for 5$ .. Wish this one would been 5 bucks haha Sorry for the confusion above guys :-) Phil \m/ |

I think you bought a very nice Peace dollar! I think this Peace dollar could make MS-64. It appears that the primary focal areas, which are the face, neck, and the wings, don't have too many marks or any large ones. It seems like the majority of those are in better locations like the fields and hair. Here are two links that should help with grading Peace dollars. The first one is the PCGS photograde which should help with grading in both circulated and uncirculated grades. The second one has a picture showing the focal points. http://www.pcgs.com/Photograde/#/Peace/Gradeshttp://www.coingrading.com/series/86.html |

I have made peace with myself knowing that I don't have the Eagle Eye it takes when trying to grade a Mint State coin... Every Mint State coin I purchased from Dealers with their "grade" on the flip, had always lost a minumim of 2 points when submitted for certification...
I've visited PCGS Photograde online recently to tried and grade the 23 Morgans I am sending to ANACS tomorrow (for insurance value), and everything under AU58 was somewhat easy to grade, but after that I honestly cannot tell the minute differences between each point grade pictured when it came to the Uncirculated examples...

Awesome - Thanks again BiggFredd , I got an official account now with PCGS - Thanks for the Info brother ! Really going to be a HUGE help to me -- not only with the Peace dollars but my Morgans also .. And I'm with you there Broken-Coin ... I have a tough tough time grading anything above a AU - my first submission of about 6 Morgans are going through right now .. (roughly the grades were all MS hopefully , so I will see how close I get when I get them back *ranging from MS60- to Ms65 . 65 was a 1884-p Vam2A .. should be interesting to see that one come back) But going to go do some practice grading with the coinfacts site and see how I can work with it ... Should be a fun Sunday activity :-) And HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS HERE Be Safe and ENJOY your holiday - Phil \m/ Edited by tatt2ed13

Nice looking Peace dollar. I would say MS63, the problem with Peace dollars is that a lot of them are weakly struck. A well struck Peace looks amazing especially where the spikes are and neck area. As far as the V in trust, thats the font they used. |

Quote:please help ? why is the you in trust, shaped like a v on these silver Peace dollars ? thank you for your answers .. keldaw That's not a "V", it's a "stonecutter's U". When hand chiseling a chunk of stone, it's a lot easier to make two straight lines than a curved one. You'll find this on medals and coins, sculptures, buildings and tombstones
