They look lustrous to me, not polished.

The photo is not that good. From what I think I can see the cheek has no luster and looks a bit flat, so it looks like an AU from here. If it is a polish rub then the coin will just grade AU Details and not be worth grading.

When I had viewed my Sisters Late husbands coins and pulled out around 60 Morgan's for help on VAM info, etc., failed to mention that also in his coin collection was a set of Morgan & Peace dollars in Dansco Albums that he had purchased at a high price back in the 1980's as an investment... He had mentioned to me that he had the collection, but I had never viewed the coins since he had kept them in a safe... It was only after his death that I had to break open his safe for my Sister and viewed the coins... The Dansco Silver Dollar Sets had all been POLISHED to look like they were high grade investment coins... I know my late brother-in-law didn't have the knowledge to know the difference between a polished EF/AU Silver Dollar and a true Uncirculated Dollar... It was sad when I mentioned to my Sister that the coins had little value and her husband had been ripped off... After viewing the album's, I just closed them and told her to take them back home (I'm sure no one would be interested in any types of VAMs on polished Dollars, and if so, maybe I can get ahold of both albums and take high resolution photo's for the VAM experts here to check out)...

I'm interested in hearing if anyone else think this 1900 is proof and what the grade would be. Hopefully I can get more pictures of my collection including a 1923 S Peace dollar.
